Apple Thoughts: You Can Play Xvid Format Videos on the iPad with CineXPlayer

"One of the long-time limitations of Apple's iOS devices has been their inability to deal with media files in formats beyond those few that Apple prescribes. But a new app, NXP Software's CineXPlayer, now lets iPad users play video files encoded in the popular Xvid format."

Because pretty much every device in my house is either made by Apple or works with MP4/M4V, I've just gotten into the habit of always converting to MP4. But if you have a need to play Xvid on your iPad, then it looks like CineXPlayer is your solution. It doesn't play every Xvid container format just yet (MKV is specifically mentioned as not being supported, for example), but I'm sure container support will improve in time. It looks very slick. Anybody out there have a need for an app like this?
