Hey nice plane in the picture.

It is taking off like XVID compatible consumer electronics in underdeveloped countries in the year 2022 of our lord.

Speaking of airplanes, Mpeg-1/2 Video is still used in In-flight Entertainment Systems (IFEs). I even was approached in 2020 by people still doing Mpeg-1 Video encodings for IFEs because of my Mpeg-1/2 encoder as commercial solutions have been largely abandoned and the ffmpeg encoder is crappy and apparently not specification compliant.

In Really Modern IFEs Mpeg-4 ASP is used of course. Now you might think this is another use case for XVID. No. XVID like x264 kinda does violate profile limits unless very correctly configured. And then the picture does not look so good anymore. That's because XVID files are supposed to be decoded on a PC without hardware constraints.

Also nice story there with your car DVD player. I would not interpret much into it though, there are always greater retards. More current people have moved on though, to smartphones, tablets and Smart TVs.
