For the fastest answer, go over to xboxmediacenter.com and hit up the forums there.  They may have answered it already over there.

After looking at the codecs.conf, heres what I would try.  Im in no way sayng I have any CLUE what this will do, but hey I like to experiment, and I do this sort of thing on an old XBox anyways, as I would suggest you do if you try it.

Heres the relevant sections, as fas as I can tell:  

CODE

videocodec ffodivx  info "FFmpeg MPEG-4"  status working  fourcc DIVX,divx  fourcc DIV1,div1 divx  fourcc MP4S,mp4s; ISO MPEG-4 Video V1  fourcc M4S2,m4s2  fourcc xvid,XVID,XviD,XVIX  fourcc DX50,dx50,BLZ0 DX50  fourcc mp4v,MP4V  format 0x4  fourcc UMP4  fourcc 3IV2,3iv2 ; 3ivx Delta 4    format 0x10000004 ; mpeg 4 es  driver ffmpeg  dll mpeg4;opendivx  out YV12,I420,IYUV videocodec xvid  info "XviD (MPEG-4)"  status working  fourcc DIVX,divx  fourcc xvid,XVID,XviD  format 0x4  driver xvid  out YV12  out I420  out YUY2  out UYVY  out YVYU  out BGR32,BGR24,BGR16,BGR15  dll "libxvidcore.a"

The first one is the older XVid codec as I see it, and the second one,  info "XviD (MPEG-4)", seems to be the one you want to use.  I would just comment out the sections in the first codec that deal ith Xvid, so change it to this

CODE

videocodec ffodivx  info "FFmpeg MPEG-4"  status working  fourcc DIVX,divx  fourcc DIV1,div1 divx  fourcc MP4S,mp4s; ISO MPEG-4 Video V1  fourcc M4S2,m4s2 ;; fourcc xvid,XVID,XviD,XVIX  fourcc DX50,dx50,BLZ0 DX50  fourcc mp4v,MP4V  format 0x4  fourcc UMP4  fourcc 3IV2,3iv2 ; 3ivx Delta 4    format 0x10000004 ; mpeg 4 es  driver ffmpeg  dll mpeg4;opendivx  out YV12,I420,IYUV

Then try and see if that allows the second codec to take over and play and Xvid movies.  Let me know if this helps.

it won't work since libxvidcore.a smells like a linux library.

Edit
my bad, didn't realize that the new xvid codec is already in CVS and uses the same name. It works

Has anyone had any luck using the XVID codec? When I switch to it, I get dropped frames like crazy, especially in fast moving scenes. I had to switch back to the FFMPEG codec.

I encoded all my video's using AUTOGK which I believe is using XVID 1.0 rc 4, so I would think they should play fine.  <

FINALLY    the latest XBMC CVS as the Xvid v.1.0 codec as default for xvid movies, it´s excellent, the quality, really perfect!  <
