Obviously you decided to use the transcode divx4 export filter which is
not installed on this node. Btw divx4 is *rather* outdated and it's 
unlikely that you have the divx4 encoder library (from divx.com) 
installed (which is needed by transcode's export_divx4.so library, which
is a wrapper around the closed source encoder library from divx.com). 
More likely you want to use divx5. Or even better: xvid or ffmpeg, which
are better choices in general, Open Source and equal if not better in 
quality.

Yep, otherwise dvd::rip wouldn't complain... It's highly recommended to
have identical transcode versions installed on all nodes, otherwise you
may get strange results, e.g. A/V sync problems or other completely 
unpredictable stuff.
