10 Best Xvid Players for Windows

Xvid is a video codec program used to compress and decompress video data. It uses MPEG-4 ASP compression, so Xvid videos are actually MPEG-4 ASP videos. Xvid was developed to compete with DivX software. But unlike DivX which is limited to licensed platforms, Xvid is open source and available on all platforms and operating systems. However, the playback of Xvid encoded files still requires a media player with an Xvid decoder.

Below, we will introduce the 10 best Xvid players for Windows to help you play Xvid files easily. Please read on.
