Total: 3061 encodes (total length 1326 hours 13 minutes 36.26 seconds)

Note that most movies having ”DIVX” in their header are actually encoded using the ”FMP4” codec (the ffmpeg variety of MPEG-4 video. For Windows users, it is provided by ffdshow). ”DIVX” fourcc is only used for compatibility.
Sometimes the ”XVID” fourcc is used for the same purpose, though most of the ”XVID” movies are truly indeed XVid.
"VP80" fourcc is the VP8 codec.

sgrunt used the following to generate this list (requires mplayer):

 (
   for all in *.avi *.mkv *.mp4 *.ogm; do
     mplayer -identify -frames 0 $all >mpout
     fmt=`grep ID_VIDEO_FORMAT mpout | sed 's@.*=@@'`
     width=`grep ID_VIDEO_WIDTH mpout | sed 's@.*=@@'`
     height=`grep ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT mpout | sed 's@.*=@@'`
     echo $fmt, ${width}x$height
   done
 )|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn

When this list was maintained by Bisqwit, he used the following to create the listing (requires riffdump and mkvtoolnix):

(
for s in *.avi;do riffdump -nmovi "$s";done | \ 
   grep -a strf.*bits| grep -av 4[48][01]00x | \
   sed 's/.*bytes[^(]*(//;s/(.*, /, /;s/(.*//'
for s in *.mkv;do mkvinfo --summary "$s" |head -n 2|grep 'video, codec';done | \
   perl -pe 's/.*ID: (.*), def.*pixel width: (.*?), pixel height: (.*?),.*/\1, \2x\3/' | \
   perl -pe 's@V_MS/VFW/FOURCC \(FourCC: (.*?), 0x34363268\)@\1@'
) | sort|uniq -c|sort -rn
