What is the XviD codec?
XviD is the name of a popular new video codec which is being developed as an open source project by volunteer programmers from all over the world. The codec is just like DivX based on the highly efficient MPEG-4 compression standard for video. The XviD format is still not as widely used as DivX, but as it’s fully compliant with the same MPEG-4 standard XviD movies usually play in DVD players that support DivX.
