the discussion earlier was about xvidcore.lib... are you sure you mean
xvidvfw.lib?

i mentioned the post-build step, to address you concerns over the "Error
executing c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" message. if you are creating your
own project, then the post-build step page will be empty.

encoder.h is a header file used internally by xvidcore, and should not
be included in your program, as it depends portab among other things. 
just #include xvid.h.

ok. i suggest you first have a look at examples/xvid_decraw.c and then
the try building the associated project (build/win32/xvid_decraw.dsp). 
xvid_decraw demonstrates how to decode mpeg-4 bitstream using the
xvidcore library.
