nVidia 8800GTS fix for ffdshow, CCCP, or DefilerPak diagonal blocking issue

Repeating this here because it might help anyone with a recent nVidia card running XviD video:

There’s a diagonal blocking/lag issue with the nVidia 8800-series cards when playing video using the commonly used Combined Community Codec Pack. To fix this, click Start / All Programs / Combined Community Codec Pack / FFDShow Video Decoder Configuration. (If you don’t have CCCP installed, double-click the black and white ffdshow icon in your system tray when playing an XviD video.)

Scroll down to the bottom of the left panel and choose Output, then check “YV12” under Planar YUV. Click OK, restart your video and any blocking issues should be resolved. Here’s the finished dialog:

FFDShow YV12 Configuration

Original solution from the CCCP forums, but we all know how short-lived those can be.
