What is this xvid file?

Video clip or movie encoded using Xvid, an open-source video coded published under the GNU GPL license; compresses video data using MPEG-4 technology; allows for faster data transmission and more efficient storage of video files. The Xvid codec and player is available for Windows and Linux systems.The Xvid project has been thought of and invented by Michael Militzer in 2001. Since then, the Xvid code base has been further developed by a core team of four to six engineers who have developed all the Xvid key features as well as plan and design the Xvid structure and interfaces. The Xvid project receives spontaneous contributions from developers from all over the world, whereas these usually consist of bug fixes or ports of the Xvid code base to a new software framework or hardware platform.
