DirectShowSource freezes VirtualDub

[PlayWithFire]

I am struggling getting my old .avs file to work. I formated the PC some time ago, and i guess i am missing something.
I stripped it down to just this, and VirtualDub just freezes, and then crashes

video = DirectShowSource("D:\movie.MPG")
return video

I am sure it's a configuration on my PC, but i am totally lost. Can someone push me in the right direction? I am using AviSynth 2.5
Any help is greaty appreciated.

Hi-

You might consider updating your AviSynth. I believe the DirectShow Source has been improved recently.

Me, I'd make a D2V project file using DGIndex and use MPEG2Source. Much more reliable:

LoadPlugin("C:\Path\To\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\Path\To\Video.d2v")

thanks a bunch!
I've been reading about DGIndex, but had a hard time working out what i was suppose to do with it. You pushed me in the right direction, and i got my file working.

If you update avisynth, go to 2.58 alpha. 2.57 has some issues with DirectShowSource.
