Decode with Quicktime

[zerodefect]

So why is it that decode with Quicktime is required for iPod output from an Xvid source? I would think that Quicktime handles Xvid source worse than open source components and I would also assume it slows things down. Also wanted to mention that I can't get decode with Quicktime to stay on in a preset, it is always off when I load the preset.

It is required because I use it to decode to x264, and x264 has no decoder of its own. I guess that the DivX QT component also decodes XviD.
