Codec = "COder/DECoder". It's a software thing, although sometimes
implemented in firmware.
I must gently chide (and agree with Francesco): if you had checked the
documentation you'd have found this:
http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/en/MPlayer.html#xvid
This says that you have to compile XviD support yourself, from the CVS.
By the way: please don't top-post.
