hi i'm the autor of the patch...=)

point 2 and 3 are as you told=)

point 1 .

if i encode a dvd using dev3api and bframes mplayer crash plaing the first 
image, i'm encoding without 
XVID_GLOBAL_PACKED
XVID_GLOBAL_DX50BVOP

should i enable some if them?
mencoder simply enable bframes=)

and i think that it need that every call to xvid_encore() will return an non 
empty image....

i saw that without XVID_DEC_LOWDELAY xvid canr return an empty image... and so 
i enabled it, and mplayer stop crashing =)

tell me if there is something wrong.. couse i'm triing to make it owrk.. but 
dev3api is not documented in doc... and i'm make all i cant... but somethings 
i does it wrong=)
