- It uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project or for video decompression (it can use
- xvid.dll installed with xvid codec too), postprocessing code from mplayer to
- enhance visual quality of low bitrate movies, and is based on original
- DirectShow filter from XviD, which is GPL'ed educational implementation
- of MPEG4 encoder.

- - can act as generic postprocessing filter for other decoders like MPEG1 or MPEG2
- - image postprocessing for higher playback quality
- - automatic quality control: automatically reduces postprocessing level when CPU load is high
- - hue, saturation and luminance correction (MMX optimized)
