In VS 2005 I had similar problem. I just removed all the quotation marks 
from nasm custom builds paths and it worked.

Also, you could look in Buildlog.htm to check if all paths are valid.

When you've dealt with nasm problems, you have to make small fix in 
portab.h (found it somewhere in xvid devel archives):

between line 78:
#    if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER >= 1300 && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)

and 79:
#        include <stdarg.h>

add this line:
#    define _INTPTR_T_DEFINED

and you should be able to compile it without errors.
I also had some problems (random crashes, something with freeing memory, 
as I recall) when I used xvid as a dynamic library (.dll) in c++ 
application. After switching to static library, everything went smooth ;)
