Could someone please explain *why* lavc mpeg4 is better than xvid? I 
always thought it was the opposite - xvid is a codec which is actively 
developed, while lavc is a sort of "all-in-one" thing. Just thinking 
about it - shouldn't a project which is fully focused on something be 
better than a library which has an mpeg4 encoder only amongst several 
other things? I don't want to offend someone here so please correct if 
I'm wrong ... I'm just a little confused about this.

I don't think that Doom9 is so bad. Or does someone know of any better 
site about this topic?
