[MEncoder-users] Mplayer SVN install broke xvid output codec

[Mikey]

Hi,

I've just installed the latest version of mplayer (for linux) from the
SVN code and I have discovered that whilst I can still play xvid files I
can no longer output them from mencoder. 

I went back and checked the output from the ./configure script and it
appears to say that the xvid codec is available for output but when I
test it with "mencoder -ovc help" I get the following:

> $mencoder -ovc help

This is what ./configure said:

> $./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gui --disable-arts --disable-smb --enable-sdl --enable-x11 --enable-theora --confdir=/etc/mplayer --with-win32libdir=/usr/lib/win32 --enable-menu --enable-tv-v4l2 --disable-liblzo --enable-largefiles  --disable-libdv --disable-aa --enable-xvid --enable-x264 --disable-runtime-cpudetection
