    Because XviD costs money and isn't Open Source right?

  3. Another Codec to Install by WC+as+Kato · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's hard enough to install the correct codec now between the different codecs and its various versions. Now we have another one. Argh!!!

    There better be some value-added to this one.

    "The world needs a free video codec" Xvid is free, and rather good.
