OK, just add a note on our issue tracker (http://tcfoundry.hostme.it/mantis)
or wait, I'll add in the next days.

Wait a minute: I'll try to clarify.
XviD API was updated several times. The last update is the fourth one
(so API v4, or e "xvid4" in transcode slang), and this came out with
XviD 1.0.x release. After XviD 1.0.x release, the XviD API wasn't
changed dramatically, so it is still version 4.

Step back. libxvidcore.so.1 is an old old release of XviD that uses
XviD API version 1.
Unfortunately, our (transcode) XviD import module was obsolete, so it
still was developed
to fit with such ancient API.

For this and other reasons we've just dropped the XviD import module
for 1.1.0 release.
That of course do NOT means that XviD import module is banned forever.
Is someone ask for it or (better :) ) provides update, clean patches,
it will be back in a time of a blink (well, almost) :)

maybe it is u-law, don't know. What is tcprobe saying?

Well, what I meant is we're going to implement the features that we
(as dev team)
need, and the ones that are requested (if feasible). Providing patches
just speed up the process :)

That is very very appreciated as well. Consider trying 1.1.0 alphas,
they are some of the
best transcode releases ever since I have memory (back in old glorious
0.6.x days), and I'm NOT saying so because I'm (partly) written them
:)

Bests,
