I'd guess it's a version mismatch with DivX. I don't know the solution, 
but a workaround would be to disable DivX. You don't need it, since 
libavcodec seems to have no trouble decoding any kind of MPEG-4 and both 
libavcodec and XviD seem to be just as good as DivX (at least the free 
beer one) for encoding. Of course, I haven't done careful encoding tests 
to compare them all, though I may in the future.
