[Mplayer-advusers] force video codec, ignore fourcc/format in codecs.conf

[compn]

i'm trying to test different mpeg4 decoders on an mpeg4
file, is there a way to just use -vc xvid file.avi and have
it use the codec, so i dont have to edit every codec in the
codecs.conf and add fourcc blah. currently mplayer reports

Forced video codec: xvid
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x584E4957.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!

so instead of editing codecs.conf and adding format 0x584f4957
under videocodec xvid, i could use something like -vc:force xvid

or can this be put in the wishlist?
