I'm thinking about encoding some captures to Xvid but the only program I've found thus far is GK and wow it's complicated.

Any particular reason you want Xvid?

I always had problems with the drivers. Total pain in the ass. Best results I ever had with DivX was Microsoft's own MPEG4 codec.

I was under the impression that Xvid produced higher quality video than MPEG 4 or Divx.

I'm open to using any one of the three though. The bravo D1 I'm getting is able to play any of them.

XVid IS MPEG4

Basically when DiVX went legit, XVid became a new open-source MPEG-4 project which has since been abused by many who feel like customizing the codec for no reason and causing compatibility issues

I know that MPEG4/Divx/Xvid are all (basically) the same codec.

I thought that there were differences between the 3 with Xvid being the best, especially for film sources.
