Hmm... Still something wrong if that is used:

vlc dvdsimple: --sout 
'#transcode{venc=ffmpeg,vcodec=xvid,br=512}:std{access=file,mux=avi,url=/tmp/test01.avi}'

generates a /tmp/test01.avi that can be played normally with vlc, but when 
playing it with mplayer or xine, I see the same garbled video as with my 
native xvid patch.
Looks like something odd is happening in the muxer...

[BTW: mux=ogg doesn't work for vcodec=xvid -- why? ffmpeg generated mpeg-4 
works nicely in an ogg container... Guess it's just a matter of adding the 
fourcc or making xvid use the mp4v fourcc?]
