[XviD-devel] 0x7f breaks decoding

Hi,

breaks _encoding_? why encoding?

sure

yes. The whole 0x7f stuff could be done within vfw (this means writing to
the bitstream for encoding and checking for it while decoding). avi
dependant code should be outside core.

btw: why does b-frame decoding work for you linux guys? Since xvidcore
alsways writes out the 0x7f, it will be present in linux created avi's, too.
How do you handle this?
