No, I mean the fiasco with using invalid testing methodology, refusing
to come clean on the cases of bias in his testing, and getting made at
lavc and disqualifying it from the tests after I flames him (keep in
mind I am just a lavc user and have nothing to do with lavc
development).

Divx is slow and bad. Historically Xvid is slow and bad. Apparently
that's not the case for encoding anymore but it's definitely the case
for decoding with xvid...
