you are shooting at a moving target.. the api is unfinished.
iam considering dumping ve_xvid/vd_xvid into the xvidcore dev tree to
prevent incompatibility.

nope. but we can add something to either branch to indicate stability.
ie.
#define XVID_API_UNSTABLE

to enable RRV mode, you must set
	xparam.global |= XVID_GLOBAL_REDUCED
during codec creation, and set
	xframe.general |= XVID_REDUCED
for each frame you want encoded as reduced.

rrv is experimental, and will not be dealt with until more pressing
issues are resolved.
