I haven't looked closely at the ag macos distribution.  you need
to explictly enable xvid support when compiling mash (with the
--enable-xvid argument to the configure script).  i'm not sure
if the binaries in the ag distribution have this support built in
or not.  you can always build your own copy (instructions for
building are at http://www.openmash.org/developers/code.html,
but note that you'll have to use cvs to obtain the most up-to-date
source)
