Ok, yeah, Xvid/Divx is really common as a final web-distribution codec, but not too many people I know render with it out of Premiere or use it in Premiere. Premiere pretty much hates that particular kind of codec (it's just not stable for various reasons).
So, if you need a codec to clip to and then import into Premiere for vidding, something like Lagarith is nice. Big files, but smaller than HuffyUV and just as pretty. If you're looking for a codec to set your "Project Rendering" to in the project file, again Lagarith is nice, but can be slow. I usually set mine to None, but again, that can be slow too.
If you're needing one to export in order to check out your progress, I'd either use one of the wmv settings in the Adobe Media Encoder (something like WM9 NTSC 1024K download--then test the settings out to get something you like) or Lagarith again. If you're sending them to betas, then wmv is pretty standard, but you can always take a Lagarith encoded file or an uncompressed (None) avi into VirtualDub and export to Xvid or Divx from there. I prefer Xvid myself. And VDub will export to it just fine.
Did I cover the problem somewhere in there, or was I still way off?
