Replying to my own post.

Just found out that the video stream was lost when converting to xvid
with the following commandline:

mencoder -oac copy -ovc xvid -o new.avi old.avi

The original video codex was some M$ mpeg4 that my KiSS player didn't
understand.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
