divx5 does eat a lot of processor, but the one that makes it crash still 
leaves some % of processer free; and besides, it should just skip frames if 
there is too much to decode, right? but what it does is it fills up its 
buffer until its filled and crashes ... (if it helps, i can post the crash.log)
