Xvid can also handle interlaced frames by itself, and the codec has many additional features that advanced users will appreciate. It uses advanced scene coding ‘ M-V-frames’, which allows it to encode video in a refined way that is not available in any other free software, MPEG-4 or otherwise.

Xvid has several nice features that other codecs lack. It has a good compression/quality ratio that you can improve upon even further with some light tweaking, but as it stands, it's excellent. High-quality compressionĬompression quality is very good indeed, so much so in fact, that its low bitrates and smaller file sizes have put many people off. This means that you can use it pretty much however you want without worrying about your actions having legal consequences.

It's a very powerful codec that doesn't have the licensing worries that open source formats tend to have. The big advantage here is that all future revisions don't have to be registered in order to be legally used, unlike MPEG-4 ASP (DivX, XviD).
