[Ffmpeg-devel] PTS / DTS with XViD

[Jani Boutellier]

Are you sure?

Both of these sites indicate that there should be B-frame support:
http://www.divxland.org/container_formats.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats

and if I play the ogm-clips that contain B-frames with TCPMP it looks 
fine. VLC media player shows the clip also.
