I almost always use ffdshow for decoding MPEG-4 and never felt it to be a resource hog. But as you said, if you are using XviD decoder for XviD-avi and DivX decoder for DivX-avi, why are you worried about the brightness settings in MPC?

XviD has a brightness slider (as c_d said) and so does DivX (under 'Picture Properties'). I use ffdshow because there is so much more one can do with it - including running avs scripts, manipulating subtitles etc.
