I'll look at it tomorow but if you want give it a try. The 2* solution is the way to go.

OT : I tried the current xvid cvs and found it very good. So I hacked it a little to add 
per slice rendering. I'w going to submit some patchs to the xvid ppl.
Some "preview" benchwarks with xv as vo :

It look promising :))

PS : If these benchmarks are bad for some reasons, don't flame but give some
advices to do better ones ;)
