Hi, 

you are right, there is no documentation about how to use XviD for 
streaming, and only little about how to use XviD in other ways. 
In fact, XvID isn't optmized for streaming, but for medium bitrate 
storage. 
Therefore, the "bitrate" setting in the XviD API an average value, not a 
maximal. What might be a replacement is to influence the VBV-parameters
(they specify the maximum rate which a stream might for given buffer 
size), or if you have the time and capability, look into the source and 
modify the existing bitrate algorithm.
