The codec bigotry here is superb.  That aside...  To use xvid
in divx4 compatibility mode, you need to copy the divx4.h file from the
XviD snapshot over the encore2.h file that came with opendivx, as its
slightly different.  

You may also want to modify the contents of divx4.c in the source
dist if you want to do interlaced encoding, or to take advantage
of some of the new xvid features.  Head over to the xvid forums and
search for mplayer to learn more.
