If I understand your question, are you thinking that xvid4 cannot find 
your configuration file?  It *does* find it.  If you want to customize 
it, you should place a copy of it in your ~/.transcode directory.  The 
video write failed is an unrelated (and, from what I can gather so far 
harmless) error, and one that I believe you get whenever you run 
transcode from within another scripting environment (at least I get that 
error  when running transcode from a php script).
