 i disagree with this statement.  Even with fairly high bitrate Xvids
 (say 1400 or so), the Xvid is noticeably degraded from the Original
 ..vob.  It's not too bad on (say) a laptop, which is where i view most
 of my xvids, but on a 24" lcd, it's obvious and on the rare occassion
 when i try to watch it on my 50" DLP, it's awful.
 
 h.264/x264, however, looks rather amazing on my lcd monitor.
 Substantially better than xvid/divx.  of corse, those are always from
 720p or 1080i sources.
