The Xvid team changed the official name to "Xvid", removing the capitalized "D" (see xvid.org). This patch replaces all occurences of "XviD" in the xml docs and the man page. If noone objects, I'll commit this weekend. Sebastian

FTLIW, I don't like it, because it's a senseless change which breaks the neat 'mirror'ing of the original name. (I tend to be quite fond of capitalization and punctuation games.) However, that complaint would be more reasonably directed at the XviD team itself, and I suppose it's kind of inappropriate to refuse to accept an official change... -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it. Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.

I agree here in both aspects. I liked the old spelling better myself, but it's not ours to decide.. Patch applied.
