The docs are wrong a lot... It's limited and undocumented, but it
works.  Perhaps I'll send a patch... I'm probably one of only 2-3 people
using -ovc vfw.

See my "success thread" from about 6 months ago when encoding with -ovc
vfw:

Actually, believe it or not, you've just solved my problem.  I was
completely mistaken about which codecs were actually working.  

Sorry for wasting time.  Chalk this one up to "I'm an idiot for
submitting bugreports late at night."

I'd LOVE to see bitrate selection added, but DLL/codec selection is
already there, and working with a few codecs.  In fact, I pledge $5 to
whoever writes the necessary code to allow setting a bitrate for
encoding with vfw.  :-)
