Not sure what the Xvid codec adds. AC3 audio of course doesn't play, but after installing the linked AC3 component above, the same video will cause quicktime to exit immediately. Also, it should be noted that by default there was no Quicktime folder under Library for me, and I had to create it, after searching around for a while for it.
