[Intro]
I created this simple program after reading divx/mpeg4 related forums. It comes to me that there arent any software developed in GNU/Linux (nor other UN*X-variant) that have similiar functionality as the AviC in Microsoft Windows platform.
note : Transcode package includes 'avifix' that can change fourcc, but it isnt compact enough and arent available by itself.
[Installation]
1) Just type 'make all'.
2) be a root user and type 'make install'
3) use the software as normal user. - refer usage section
[RPM kiddie]
RPM package MAY BE made available at the project's page. Please email me if you absolutely in need of such package.
[usage]
To obtain fourcc code for an avi file, type :

cfourcc -i file.avi
To change fourcc code for an avi file, type :
cfourcc -u DIVX -d DIVX (-d for description, -u for used)
To obtain online help information, type :

[BUGS]
Probably many. But always ensure that the software is working correctly under my machine first before i started distributing it. If you find and suspect any bugs, please submit your report to the projects forum page for actions.
