Lets see, you say the program hangs when you go to play the avi file and you get
these errors on your console

fixme:thread:SYSDEPS_SpawnThread CreateThread: stub
fixme:thread:SYSDEPS_SpawnThread CreateThread: stub

You also have a warning about your lib c being non reeentrant

*** Warning: non-reentrant libc detected. Wine will be built without
*** threading support. Consider upgrading libc to a more recent
*** reentrant version of libc.

This means that wine is built without multithreading support and it looks like
this error and the first one are related. This may be the cause of Virtual dub
locking up because the video and audio are multiple threads. I do not know about
the multiple occurences of "undefined reference to `__assert'" but it is
probably also related to this. 

The reason for all the perhaps and maybe's is that I am not a wine guru by
anybodys estimation and therefore cannot be certain. What I am certain of is
that you should upgrade your libc package.

I however don't know if one is available or how to do the upgrade. Your best bet
for finding this information is to search the web. If you can't find the
information you need on the web then you should find a newsgroup that can tell
you or at least point you in the right direction.

There is the slight possibility that some wine guru would want Wine to be able
to support a non reentrant libc for some reason but I don't think its likely.

If upgrading your libc fixes the problem then you can mark this bug report as
resolved. If it doesn't or you are unable to upgrade then we will take it from there
