I can say that I use xvid to encode my DVB recordings, and was thinking |
| 19 |
about removing the commercial binary-only divx library entirely from my |
| 20 |
system. Among other reasons, to let prelink work on binaries which link |
| 21 |
to it. After all, to play divx movies, ffmpeg and/or xvid serve just as |
| 22 |
well. |
