+@section libxvid
+
+Xvid MPEG-4 Part 2 encoder wrapper.
+
+This encoder requires the presence of the libxvidcore headers and library
+during configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
+@code{--enable-libxvid --enable-gpl}.
+
+The native @code{mpeg4} encoder supports the MPEG-4 Part 2 format, so
+users can encode to this format without this library.
+
+@subsection Options
+
+The following options are supported by the libxvid wrapper. Some of
+the following options are listed but are not documented, and
+correspond to shared codec options. See @ref{codec-options,,the Codec
+Options chapter} for their documentation. The other shared options
+which are not listed have no effect for the libxvid encoder.

+
+@item flags
+Set specific encoding flags. Possible values:
+
+@table @samp
+
+@item mv4
+Use four motion vector by macroblock.
+
+@item aic
+Enable high quality AC prediction.
+
+@item gray
+Only encode grayscale.
+
+@item gmc
+Enable the use of global motion compensation (GMC).
+
+@item qpel
+Enable quarter-pixel motion compensation.

+Place global headers in extradata instead of every keyframe.
