So no need for xvid to split up - or did we call it xvid1 vs xvid0 when we started implementing Advance Simple Profile (vs. Simple Profile)?

We'll modify the GUI so you can choose the profile you want to use for encoding which enables/disables xvid's vfw controls accordingly. But let's wait for the integration/presentation of h.264 into mpeg4 first - and let's make ASP stable.

Yes, but Advanced Simple Profile is just an extension to the Simple Profile. H.264 (or AVC) is an entirely different technology, it works completely differently (iirc not DCT based, multiple macroblock sizes, etc.). There would be only a few shared code-parts, so the source would be a complete mess.

But your version sounds better, i would be glad if that is possible without difficulties.
