For those wishing to use Vista MCE extenders to watch .avi videos, Install and run the attached Media control.
This plugin allows Windows Vista Media Center to utilize the FFDShow decoder, which needs to be installed seperately ((FFDShow rev 1108 recommended: download the last version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout)). FFDShow adds support to Vista for MPEG-4 video formats like DivX, Xvid, H.264 and also alllows MP3, AAC, Dolby AC3, and OGG Vorbis audio files to be played back.

Did you install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package SP1 first, then install fffdshow and media control in order?
You may have to tweak settings for ffdshow and the plugin. Click here for help with configuring the plugin.
