If you do a search for xvid you will find a myriad of troubles for this highly compressed video format.

Correct. Besides the usual troubles inherent in editing a temporally compressed format (few real bitmaps, mostly synthetic frames) you have the fact that XviD is, frankly, bug infested. I'd convert them to some other format that's all real bitmaps (Quicktime Component, MJPeg, uncompressed RGB....anything but Indeo, DivX, MPEG etc.) do your edits then export to your destination format.
