Probably http://www.xvid.org/ :-)

If libxvidcore is installed as an .rpm by RH9, remove it with rpm -e. (check 
the name with rpm -qa | grep -i xvid or something). Then download the 
tarball of xvid.org and follow instructions for compilation and 
installation.

You can also download a source rpm of a later libxvid version of RH or FC 
and use rpm --rebuild thatrpmfile.src.rpm. I have done that on Mandrake 
with a lot of programs and libraries in the past. You might have to satisfy 
some other dependencies (autotools etc...). Rebuild them all from the 
source rpms. Never (I repeat, never) force binary builds of rpms that have 
dependency problems. It fscks up your installation, especially (g)libc 
stuff. Rebuild with you current compiler and libraries or update those 
first (all from source rpms offcourse). Or just update your distro :-) 
Which btw can also be done from the commandline with a decent internet 
connection. No need to do a fresh install from cd/dvd. Google for 
instructions on that.
