64 bit VD2 (or any 64 bit executable) will require 64 bit plugins, 32 bit will not work. (same issue in Avisynth+ 64 bit, and 32 bit plugins).
Also, 32 bit plugins in VD2 64 bit plugins directories may cause problems, dont do it.

x264, dont really know much about this, but, you can only do Direct Stream Copy where source stream is compatible with output file,
although you can (I've never done it) create x264 in AVI, there are some things that need be omitted [at a guess I might think CABAC may be one of them],
if source does have some unsupported x264 features, then will not be able to Direct Stream Copy.

Dont think "Select different input driver" will make any difference, unless it decodes to uncompressed video, which you could then copy to
output AVI as uncompressed video (perhaps YUV or maybe only RGB, dont know).

I would use Fast Recompress, to some output codec, but that stuff has changed in Vdub2 (cant remember in what way it changed).

You will probably get a better answer soon, a wrong answer often prompts someone else to correct it in double time,
people like to tell others just how wrong they are

EDIT: Having looked at VD2 Decode Format, AutoSelect would seem to be the only likely one to choose.

EDIT: The VirtualDub x264 compression thingy docs will likely tell what features of x264 are unsupported in AVI files.
