I should note here that I do believe a lot of the problems/conflicts ffdshow had with other codecs have been resolved - the original source of those types of problems were commonly due to codec packs including ffdshow along with a crapload of other decoding filters, some of which were redundant amongst themselves even, so there was a steaming ball of conflicts waiting to happen.
ffdshow now includes a section in its configuration to disable its use in certain applications (explorer.exe is one of them; if that means what I think it does, it means Explorer won't crash anymore).
The reason I found it important to mention is that if you plan on doing any sort of encoding with XviD using VirtualDub, then you have to have both it and ffdshow installed. I can attest that I've never had a problem with libavcodec (ffdshow's decoding core; it's the same one that VLC and mplayer use) decoding XviD while the main VFW/DS version of XviD was also installed, but then again I know setups can differ. To be absolutely safe, you could just encode using xvid_encraw, but that requires you to either use MeGUI to interface with it or stick to command-line encoding - there could be other GUIs that can use it, but I don't bother to find out about them since I know MeGUI works.
