Nic's XviD Codec

XviD is an MPEG4 video codec which is being developed under the open source model, much like the LAME MP3 encoder. It's based upon the efforts made in the Open Source project "OpenDivX" by DivX Networks, which shut it down and closed the source with all the ideas and work spent by many coders from the net.

The XviD Codec is needed to play movies encoded by XviD.
