Hi all, 
I was having the same error message so I installed FFDShow on a window 7 PC. 
In the configuration shortcuts I see 
* Configuration 
* VFW Configuration
If I run the "VFW Configuration", I see a dialog with 2 tabs: Encoder and Decoder. 
In the "Decoder" tab, if "Codec" is selected on the left, a list of supported codecs is displayed on the right. I then scroll down to the line beginning with "MPEG2" and select "libmpeg2" instead of disabled in for the "Decoder" field. 
Is that the way MPEG-2 decoding is enabled ? 
I see no "DVD playback" checkbox in the screen shot of the dialog:

Any info on what I did wrong would be greatly appreciated. 
Regards.
