VFW (Video For Windows) -- but I thought WMM was the only major editing program that used DirectShow (because DivX logos aren't a problem in other editors)?
It strongly seems that Premiere isn't fully committed to one framework or the other - VFW might be used for the actual editing process, but DirectShow would launch for preview playback and so on. I am speaking of Premiere 6.5 here, so I have no clue if any of the Pro versions do it differently.

Knowing what I know, which is that Crossover does not appear to have DirectShow, I can only conclude that must be the issue. I don't suppose there is a way to tell premiere NOT to use directshow, and to use instead whatever it is vdubmod avisynth use, or even better, install directshow to the crossover framework?
I don't think I ever tried installing directshow as a standalone in windows...
Hmm, maybe it has to do with the version of Crossover compared to Wine. I can access the VFW configuration without issues using the stock WineHQ version (although the format selection dialog isn't clickable at all), but that also wasn't under OS X. If Crossover maintains the file registry Wine also ships with (it's just regedit) you should be able to load in a .reg containing all the proper configuration,
like this one (most useful with a new build of ffdshow-tryouts, although I made that .reg file back in June of this year).
I have no idea if
winetricks will even work under Crossover, but if it does it might be able to get DirectShow kind of working (supposedly there is an OS X frontend for winetricks,
TRiX, but it didn't mention anything about Crossover). To get DirectShow to work, Crossover or winetricks or whatever method needs to be able to install and run the
Windows SDK. According to the list on the winetricks page, it can install the Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK, which should work. Whether it nets
reliable DirectShow coverage, on the other hand...
