 Encoding ffpresets for common usages are provided so they can be used with the
 general presets system (e.g. passing the @option{pre} option).
 
+@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.

+Enable closed GOP.
+
+@item global_header
+Place global headers in extradata instead of every keyframe.

+
+@item phods
+@item x1
+@item log
+Enable advanced diamond zonal search for 16x16 blocks and half-pixel
+refinement for 16x16 blocks. @samp{x1} and @samp{log} are aliases for
+@samp{phods}.

+Enable all of the things described above, plus advanced diamond zonal
+search for 8x8 blocks, half-pixel refinement for 8x8 blocks, and motion

+Enable all of the things described above, plus extended 16x16 and 8x8
+blocks search.
+@end table

+Set macroblock decision algorithm. Possible values in the increasing
+order of quality:
+
+@table @samp
+@item simple
+Use macroblock comparing function algorithm (default).

+Enable rate distortion-based half pixel and quarter pixel refinement for
+16x16 blocks.
+

+Enable all of the things described above, plus rate distortion-based
+half pixel and quarter pixel refinement for 8x8 blocks, and rate
+distortion-based search using square pattern.
