According to google:
0.9.2 (xvid3): 2003-08-04
1.0.0 (xvid4): 2004-05-16

Personally, I'm in favor of dropping support for anything earlier than
1.0.0; I'm not aware of any advantages of the old version, and we're
probably long past the post-release interval during which it's useful to
compare the new version to the old.

...but that's just my view. I don't use xvid a whole lot, so it would be
better to wait for the opinion of someone more involved.

Done.
