[Bug 498487] [NEW] Documentation does not include required information

[drink]

Public bug reported:

Documentation does not suggest where to go to get these libraries. The
avifile website is also useless in this regard. Where do you get these
libraries? I can't play Divx3 on Ubuntu... plays fine in Windows with
the CCCP, this is pathetic at best.

Description: Divx4Linux video de/encoding plugin for libavifile
 Plugin for encoding DivX4 video. NOTICE: 
  This plugin requires separate installation of libdivxdecore
  and libdivxencore library which is not a part of this package
  nor Debian itself. See documentation for more details who
  to obtain this library.
  In general you do not need this plugin.
