You mean Windows application using the XviD-API? Only for testing,
like in the examples directory. Normally you can use programs like
VirtualDub to test encoding and any media player for decoding. 

As Pete wrote, you don't need DX for that! Simply compile the xvid part
and install using the .inf file. Then you can use XviD in normal 
Windows programs.

Look into the example files, e.g. xvidcore/examples/xvid_stat.c 
there are a) routines for PSNR and b) routines how to encode
and decode using XviD API (C style, of course).
