[MPlayer-DOCS] XviD encoding options man page

[Guillaume POIRIER]

Hi there,
As I recently got my patch that documents a little better XviD encoding 
options in the man page merged into the cvs, I asked for some feedback 
to XviD devs. Here are their answers:

http://list.xvid.org/pipermail/xvid-devel/2004-August/004494.html

See the attached patch for better-documented options thanks to their 
advices.

But here's a clever advice they gave:

What do you think? Where in the man page does those advices should land?
