It means you don't have the xvid codec on your computer.
Look in the Software section.

Agreed. If one wants to 'play' with movies, one should have:
- the DivX (at least the shareware version, to decompress) and Xvid codecs
or
- FFDShow (only to read AVIs, not to compress the movies into AVI form)

I've got the same error as drusse11. I've got the FFDShow. Is that not enough to use VirtualDub?

It's got nothing to do with using VirtualDub...it's got to do with whatever codec is in that crap movie you downloaded.
