How to open MPEG-1 into avisynth?

[ronnylov]

What is the preferred method to open mpeg-1 in avisynth?
directshowsource() or Nic mpegdecoder or anything else?

Nic mpegdecoder
Has some issues with mpeg1 files. Try DirectShowSource.

I am pretty sure you can open MPEG1 files in DVD2AVIdg and then open the .d2v file with mpeg2dec3

How hard would it be to pull the MPEG1 parser out of VirtualDub and to incorporate it into AviSynth (or to make a plug-in from it)?

This works sometimes but not every time.

I recommend DirectShowSource too.

This ability is coming, but is not yet available. It may be a while too.

This works for me

load mpeg1 into DVD2AVI
load .dv2 into VFAPI
i can now load the file as an .avi using avisynthscript(avisource)/CCE
