I'm not so sure about this.

AFAIUI, xvid is used and documented by various howtos and tutorials on
the net, as it seems to be easier to configure than ffmpeg's native
mpeg4 encoder. We'll surely don't do anyone a favor by breaking those
howtos. But I'm clearly no expert here either.

At the very least, this patch should update Changelog, and describe the
situation and possible alternatives way more clearly than "to use Xvid
directly".
