Part 1: What Is Xvid and Why Do People Rip DVD to Xvid? <\/strong><\/h2>\n
When talking about Xvid (formerly “XviD”), many people may mistake it as a video format, but actually, it is an open source video codec library following the MPEG-4 video coding standard. By using Xvid codec, online video data exchanged will be facilitated and sped up, and hard disk storage will be improved as video data are greatly compressed. Unnecessary junk of video data will be stripped to guarantee higher compression rate on the condition of Xvid video codec. What is even amazing is that XviD-compressed videos can be 200 times smaller than the source video, with the visual quality well intact. Xvid is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, which means that Xvid can be used on all platforms and operating systems for which the source code can be compiled. <\/p>\n

As a free and open-source converter, HandBrake can transcode videos and DVDs to digital files handily.\u00a0With HandBrake, you could easily rip and convert DVD to videos in Xvid codec. However, you need to know that HandBrake alone doesn’t work on encrypted commercial DVD discs.

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\nThe below steps would show you how to rip and convert DVD movies to Xvid videos with HandBrake. <\/p>\n

Extension: Xvid vs.\u00a0Divx <\/h2>\n
What's the difference between XviD and DivX?\u00a0DivX is a notable video codec driven by video compression technology developed by Div, LLC. The DivX codec is in popularity due to its ability to cut unnecessary video info and compress video size while maintaining the original quality. Now the DivX Codec is currently the most popular MPEG-4 based codec because of its quality, speed, efficiency as well as the wide range of DVD players that support the Div format. \n<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\nOn the contrary, following the MPEG-4 video coding standard, especially the ASP, XviD is a new popular video codec developed by volunteer developers around the world. Now it is a primary competitor of the DivX Pro Codec. Unlike DivX codec, the proprietary codec only available for a minority of platforms, XviD is an open source format widely used online. It can be opened on all platforms.
\n XviD is the lossy compression. However, it only removes not important picture details beyond human sensitivity. In contrast, it is strong in compression and quality. When it comes to video quality, XviD comes with the ability to compress movie size without causing visible quality loss and by retaining a sharper picture than other codecs do. <\/p>\nBoth DivX and XviD are free. Generally speaking, videos in both divx and vxid codecs could be played back on media players like VLC, Windows Media Player, KMPlayer, Free Blu-ray Player<\/u><\/a>, etc. But, DivX is a proprietary codec that is protected while XviD is not protected by any policy. So, you can modify the source code of XviD only. XviD videos have sharp details while DivX video has blocky and fuzzy artifacts. So, you may see that image in DivX videos has better quality. When it comes to compatibility, please note that even if a player\/device has a "DivX compatible" label, it may not be compatible with XviD videos and vice versa. When you meet format incompatibility issue, you could try to convert XviD\/DivX videos<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to change the codec for playback.
