encoding in XviD I was using these options:
-xvidencopts 
bitrate=980:qpel:gmc:chroma_me:chroma_opt:hq_ac:vhq=4:autoaspect:pass=1

on a one minute test in the middle of the movie, XviD seemed to perform 
better than lavc but now I'm watching the first 10 minutes and there's 
no noticeable difference with lavc, appart that it is 10 times longer to 
encode! maybe I tested on a part where XviD algorithm was more suited.
I'll probably stick to lavc (which is be better for my laptop's 
temperature and for my patience) but just by curiosity and desire of 
completeness, what do you think of theses XviD encoding options? do you 
know others that provide quality with less expanse of time?

thank you for your help.
