What is VRO?

VRO is the format used by DVD recorders for video recording. It is slightly different from standard DVD-VIDEO format, which is used for movies. However, it also uses MPEG-2 encoding.

To convert from VRO files, you will need to install both GPL MPEG-2 Decoder, and AC-3 Decoder Filter.

What is XVID?

XviD is the name of a popular new video codec being developed as an open source project by volunteer programmers from all over the world. The format was created to offer a free alternative to other commercial video codecs, and despite being open source its quality and efficiency has made it one of the most popular video codecs online.

XviD, as a file type, is an AVI file with video encoded with XviD codec.

To convert video to xvid, please make sure the xvid codec is installed.
