Please try and do some research before expecting everyone to give their time to you, if you look at xvids wikipedia page you will see "Xvid is not a video format. Since Xvid uses MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) compression, any video that is encoded with it is termed "MPEG-4 ASP video" - not "Xvid video" - and can therefore be decoded with all MPEG-4 ASP compliant decoders" + "Xvid encoded files can be written to a CD or DVD and played in a DivX compatible DVD player."
Look at VLC's wikipedia page it will tell you what formats they support, compare with what Fluendo offers and there is your answer.
