@section How do I encode XviD or DIVX video with ffmpeg?
Both XviD and DIVX (version 4+) are implementations of the ISO MPEG-4
standard (note that there are many other coding formats that use this
same standard). Thus, use '-vcodec mpeg4' to encode these formats. The
default fourcc stored in a MPEG-4-coded file will be 'DIVX'. If you want
a different fourcc, use the '-vtag' option. E.g., '-vtag xvid' will
force the fourcc 'xvid' to be stored as the video fourcc rather than the
default.

@section Are there examples illustrating how to use the FFmpeg libraries, particularly libavcodec and libavformat ?
