[XviD-devel] Creating QuickTime readable videos

Hey,

So I was really hoping someone could point me to some good information on
actually encoding video in C/C++ with this library. I couldn't find the XviD
documentation on the website so I have only read the information releases in
the tarball.

I tried running the example encode program but the outputed video file is
not playable by quicktime or vlc... I used the '-o' option to put the frames
into a single file and it appeared to work the file was created successfully
and it was full of data.

I am assuming i am not understanding the full process. This was a raw mpeg4
bitstream, but how do i encapsulate that into a playable media format?

I am having much difficulties finding information on this. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Martin Dale Lyness
