What is an XVID file?

An .XVID file is an XVID Video file.

Files that use the .xvid file extension are most commonly used for movies and video clips that have been encoded using the Xvid open-source video codec.

The XVID file format compresses the video data using MPEG-4 technology. This allows for smaller file sizes and faster data transmission of the XVID movies over the Internet.

XVID files use various ASP features, including global and quarter pixel motion compensation, b-frames, Lumi masking, and custom quantization matrices. The Xvid codec, compatible with most computer platforms, is a direct competitor of the popular DivX Pro codec. However, Xvid is a free software application.
