"Xvid can optionally encode video with advanced features that most DivX Certified set-top players do not support." (wikipedia) is cartoon mode included in those advanced features?

Hi,

I don't think cartoon mode has any compatibility problems.

From the AGK tutorial:
- XviD's Cartoon Mode, in the words of XviD developer and compiler Koepi, "enables some mechanism in the motion estimation which drops (instead of encoding them) more macro blocks. The result is a more stable, a little less detailed image. Exactly what you need for cartoons like Futurama or the Simpsons." That is to say, it can improve the quality of American style cartoons. I don't think that I'd recommend it for the more detailed Japanese anime. (ONLY XVID)

The more advanced features may be related to GMC/QPEL/Packed bitstream/More than 1 B-frame ...

This is more a Xvid discussion than AGK, the cartoon option is in the xvid encoder, AGK only uses it ;)
