Yes - thats it! When i am under windows testing (using) ffdshow codec,
the lavc-Divx-MPEG4 videos are now playable without player-shutdown and
without random 5-seconds-long video fragmentation. (theres a small cosmetic
bug - in the right-bellow ((in the black picture area)) is flashing 5
centimeters long green rectangle....but its only cosmetic defect).
Thanks to Corey for help! (i thing, this is enlightement for us-all).
Yes, divx is now playing under windows, but Xvid is still poorly
playable (with any-ffdshow/xvid codec). I am newly discovered this:
30 sec sample (from absolute begin ((time zero)) of any VOB file) with 
VBR lame
audio is NOT playable (audio yes, video no).
30 sec sample (from same VOB file ((e.g. position beginning from 60 and 
ending
 at 90 second)) with same parameters is playable.....strange......but 
sample beginning
at time zero - is unplayable.......
Xvid video sample with CBR audio (e.g. 112kbits) taken from any part of VOB
seems to be playable anytime. When i crack this nut, i drop report here.
