What is Xvid? Xvid is a MPEG-4 video codec for PC.
Its purpose is to compress video in order to allow for faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks. Hence, Xvid can somewhat be seen as a ZIP for video. Xvid removes information from video that is not important for human perception in order to achieve very high compression rates while still keeping very good visual quality. As an example: uncompressed digital video is huge and takes up about 100 GB HD space per hour at PAL resolution. The same video would require just 500 MB per hour when compressed with Xvid at high quality. So Xvid can compress video at ratios of 200:1 and more. Why should I use Xvid?
There are a number of reasons that may make using Xvid an interesting option for you. Xvid is Free software, can be obtained free of charge and is shipped together with many hardware devices. While being free, it offers outstanding quality and performance clearly surpassing expensive, competing products. Xvid allows you to create video for interoperable exchange with portable or home multimedia devices as Xvid is widely supported in hardware. Being open-source, Xvid is future-proof and secure to use.
Why is it free for me? The Xvid developers believe in the Free Software movement and consequently have published Xvid under the terms of the GNU GPL license. The GPL is a software license but unlike other software licenses, it grants the recipient lots more freedoms.
One is a right to redistribute Xvid free of charge (under some restrictions). Further, the Xvid developers intent to further promote open standards like ISO MPEG-4 and hence aim at wide-spread adoption of Xvid. Therefore, Xvid has been published as Free Software.
