First of all:
"Rule No 6) No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained movies! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking or offering in any way or form is not tolerated. "
That's a warning!

Second of all:
taken from the ffmpeg changelog:
"version 0.4.5:...
...
- added Intel H263 decoding support ('I263' avi fourCC)
...
"
further:
taken from the ffdshow homepage:
"ffdshow is a DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DIVX movies. It uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project for video decompression, postprocessing code from mplayer to enhance visual quality of low bitrate movies, and is based on original DirectShow filter from XviD, which is GPL'ed educational implementation of MPEG4 encoder."

So you may try to use the ffdshow. See if it helps.

take care
