-===== Installing Xvid from CVS ===== 
- 
-The latest development files for the Xvid codec are available for use from their CVS repository. This is a guide to downloading and installing their libraries. After completing the download and compilation you will have to recompile Avidemux. There is a guide available on how to [[Compile SVN|compile Avidemux from SVN (Subversion)]].

-If packages become available for this program and libraries, feel free to edit this page to include instructions on how to use them.

-  cvs -d:​pserver:​anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/​xvid co xvidcore 
- 
-==== Removing old Xvid ==== 
- 
-If you have installed a development package of Xvid onto your system at any time, you should remove this before installing the CVS version. They may conflict or one might not be detected properly.

-  ./configure 
-  make

-After you have downloaded and installed Xvid from source, then you need to recompile Avidemux with the new Xvid libraries. Check out the [[AvidemuxInstallCompileFromSVN|compiling Avidemux from SVN (Subversion)]]. 
- 
-===== Confirming the Xvid version ===== 
- 
-Open a console and type the command to start avidemux (usually '​avidemux2'​). The console should print out various information before starting the Avidemux program. The printout should look like this: 
- 
-    3 encoder registered 
-  Initializing global xvid 4 
-          xvid build:​xvid-1.2.0-dev 
- 
-The version number for the Xvid that Avidemux is using will printout there. This can be used to very that you have. If you are trying to make use of Multithreading in Xvid within Avidemux, you need to have version 1.2 or later.
