5OpenDivX or Xvid?
6
7OpenDivX is a free implementation of the mpeg4-codec. Alas, the
8developers at ProjectMayo didn't gratefully release their actual source
9in compileable versions, so the displeasure of the users majority
10canalized into a new project named Xvid.
11
12Xvid development was interrupted in Autumn 2002 due to a code-theft
13the developers at Sigma design committed but it is continued now.
14
15For worse luck, OpenDivX and Xvid are using the same header file
16names (an issue that wouldn't be resolved easily) and function
17namespace, so you'll have to choose which one to use.
18
19I personally vote for Xvid, because the installation from sources
20is much smoother. If you use mencoder and transcode at the same time,
21you may want to choose different codecs for each.
