1012 <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem>, the native MPEG-4 |
15922 | 1013 encoding library usually shipped with <application>MEncoder</application>, |
1014 used to set the FourCC to 'DIVX' when encoding MPEG-4 videos | |
1015 (the FourCC is an AVI tag to identify the software used to encode and | |
1016 the intended software to use for decoding the video). | |
1017 This led many people to think that | |
1018 <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem> | |
1019 was a DivX encoding library, when in fact it is a completely different | |
15925 | 1020 MPEG-4 encoding library which implements the MPEG-4 standard much |

1030 Note that this will set the FourCC to XVID rather than DIVX. |
15922 | 1031 This is recommended as DIVX FourCC means DivX4, which is a very basic |
1032 MPEG-4 codec, whereas DX50 and XVID both mean full MPEG-4 (ASP). | |
1033 Therefore, if you change the FourCC to DIVX, some bad software or | |
1034 hardware players may choke on some advanced features that | |
1035 <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem> supports, but DivX | |
15925 | 1036 doesn't; on the other hand <systemitem class="library">XviD</systemitem> |
1037 is closer to <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem> in | |
