I've encoded some samples and I can't reproduce here on my 11.1 64Bit 
installation (Core2Duo 7200). But as far as I understand, it's a 
problem of the assembler part of xvid (the recompiled version works 
much slower bot has no "pink/purple splotches problem")

So I can recompile x86_64 version without assembler usage which is much 
slower, but solves problems on some(?) computers, or keep the current 
version. I've recompiled 32 days ago, because I've got bugreports 
because of the speed without assembler usage...
So, what to do?
