  I still dun quite get the solution to ur problem.
  
  This is the page i clicked from ur link
  http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t224066.html
  
  So, is the solution
  1. Uninstalling FFDShow
  2. Installing XviD Codec
  or
  3. Get the retail version yourself
  
  PS: I've nvr had any problem decoding XviD Files using the libavcodec, and FFDShow can also use the XviD codec to decode XviD
