I suggest you give Avidemux (http://avidemux.org/) a try instead of VirtualDub.
It has x264 encoder (and many more) built-in, so no need to use nasty VFW codecs any more!
Also it supports much more containers: AVI, MP4, OGM, etc.
The User Interface is pretty close to VirtualDub, so you should feel at home :p

In case you are interested, download latest build here:

There is a suggestion that you dont use x264 alias MPEG4 AVC h264 with AVI containers because of the B frame problem. Please read the threads. You can convert to x264 with AVISynth

H.264 in AVI can work fine when done properly, although it's not the "standard conform" container.
The major problem is the oldfashioned VfW-Interface, as used by VirtualDub and x264-VfW-Codec, and not AVI itself.
Only limitation in AVI itself is that it can not store B-Frames in the "proper" way, but it still does work.

Avidemux can use the x264 encoder without having to go through the nasty VfW-Interface.
It can create both, AVI and MP4 files. Of course the latter is the "correct" and recommended one ;)

Does Avidemux have good deinterlacers like Avisynth does (TomsMoComp, TDeiInt etc)?

Why you don't look yourself and see? ^^

Currently Avidemux has the following deinterlacers built-in:
TDeint KernelDeinterlacer Yadif mcDeinterlace Smart Deinterlace libavcodec deinterlacers (including FFmpeg Deinterlacer) DGBob various IVTC filters


Also there is a new Plugin system in v2.4, so you can create/load 'external' filters too.
