With regard to scene standards, Xvid has been a solid standard for us since 2003. It brought sanity to a community that didn't really have any clear-cut solution or standard beforehand. Rather than a mess of Divx versions and variants, and WMV files, there was a single codec that a majority of encoders could agree on.

The adoption of Xvid had a bit of a "chicken or the egg" scenario because it coincided with the proliferation of BitTorrent and first-generation torrent indices. Fansubbing now had a far greater outreach and the releases formats of groups was now more more publicly visible. Encoders see more groups are jumping on the bandwagon and make the transition.

However, the community is being real stubborn this time around. I don't see anything meaningful happening with regard to the transition unless there is a more organized community-wide assemblage.
