OK, thanks for information!

Conceirning libavcodec: I only got the idea - this might be wrong, please 
correct me! - that libavcodec wouldn't include the newest xvid release.

Is this true or am I following a mental dead end? I'm almost sure, I am!

My interest in the newest xvid codec is this new, special feature, which 
is described like this (from www.xvid.org):
--- quote start ---
Special mode for cartoons/anime like futuruma/the simpsons or any anime 
with flat color areas
--- qote end ---

On windows - long time ago ;) - I used a special filter in VirtualDub and/
or in AviSynth - don't know the name anymore.

I am very interested in this functionality, and I couldn't figure out 
wether libavcodec includes this new option.

proper lavc option.

Maybe all this subject is because of my misunderstanding, so I will accept 
any information helping in this case :)
