What i sthe difference from point of view of license/patents between libavcodec of ffmpeg and xvid? Both seems implementing an MPEG4 codec. Both seems GPL (xvid) or LGPL (libavcodec). In xvid furthermore there is forbid of distribution in JAPAN and USA due to section 8 of GPL.Am Donnerstag, 28.

DivX4 and XviD decoding functionality appears to have been disabled from the .mdk build and is built only in the .plf build now, is this correct?
No, DivX4 and Xvid have never been in main. I've disabled them for the
plf release this time, because they aren't included in this version.
But there's ffmpeg included in xine, just like in mplayer.
Divx4/Divx5 instead is available only as binary only library.
