Agree, for the Xvid dshow source this discussion is entirely academic.

Sure. As suspected, the new patch require less changes. Using the winnt.h
TEXT macro to avoid dependency of tchar.h. This goes also well in style with
SDK DirectShow source. There are 2 cases where explicit use of A variant
functions are required.

I added a patch for CXvidDecoder::ar_x, ar_y (int => UINT) so that the types
corresponds to VIDEOINFOHEADER2 and Media Foundation. (Compiler warning
cleanup).

Patch to make the libxvidcore library and Xvid dshow source robust in
respect to different calling conventions (CXvidDecoder.h and xvid.h). I
understand that a request to change the main library header is much to ask
for, but I think this is a good thing. See more about this in the patch.
