I use xvid exclusively and I am encountering both problems.
mplayer ce handles these without issues. I really like the new GUI and the “Fast Forward” ability is better in WIIMC, but it is far from stable with xvid and SMB.

Thank you all,
Driverx’s 7 step process got me to my first successful build.
For anyone building under vista, you should also run MSYS as administrator.
