About Xvid?

Xvid is a renowned video codec library that adheres to the MPEG-4 standard, specifically the MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP). It incorporates advanced features such as b-frames, global and quarter pixel motion compensation, lumi masking, trellis quantization, and H.263, MPEG, and custom quantization matrices. It should be noted that Xvid is not a video format in itself, but rather a powerful codec designed for the compression and decompression of video content into the MPEG-4 ASP format. Videos encoded using Xvid are correctly referred to as "MPEG-4 ASP video," and can be decoded by any MPEG-4 ASP compliant decoders, including a vast array of widely-used media players and decoders.
