The XviD forum seems to be host for XviD, ffdshow, ffvfw and other related opensource MPEG-4 encoder/decoder discussions. My suggestion then is:
XviD, FFMPEG et al
or
Opensource MPEG4 Codecs
Makes it clearer where to post. Since it could also seem implied that ffdshow/ffvfw would belong in "New AV Formats - Codecs" as they don't have their own forum, though it's generally accepted that they belong in the XviD forum, while they're not even related to XviD (ffmpeg was made from scratch (or from some long-since-vanished-from-the-source reference implementation) afaik, and XviD was made from OpenDivX. (Yes I know OpenDivX was also based on some long-since-vanished-from-the-source-reference implementation, namely MoMuSys.)
