I can't believe this inconvinience and trouble one legitimate user is getting.
Hope things go right with you in the next few days with Elecard.
Elecard Video Decoder and its MPEG2 Demultiplexer are excellent direct show filters.
I have attached a screenshot of my v1.35.
You can access those properties from GraphEdit.

I am still testing encoding speeds with the following configurations:
- Elecard MPEG2 Demultiplexer with Elecard Video Decoder and InterVideo Audio Decoder
- MPEG-2 Demultiplexer with InterVideo WinDVD 5 Audio and Video Decoders
- MainConcept MPEG Splitter with MainConcept MPEG Video Decoder and InterVideo Audio Decoder
I have heard that MainConcept MPEG Video Decoders claim to have 50% more efficient in decoding, compared to other decoders. However I was only able to encode it 14 minutes faster.
All the Best,
