I'm trying to run the DVD version of Wing Commander IV on a Win98SE box, however i'm running into difficulties getting it to work without the DVD board. I'm using dxmci http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/dxmci.html and this is what the guy says:

Will this work in Windows 98?
Yes it will! Just follow the above rules (minus the compatibility mode issue). Make sure you have Mpeg-2 filters which work under DirectShow. Mpeg2dec did not work for me, but I've got it working with Ligos filters.
But the game can also run without this patch although it didn't work for everyone since it requires real MCI drivers. I've used WinDVD 2.1 to make it run for testing purposes.

However where do I get Mpeg-2 filters that work?

According to the above example, and this thread: https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/wc-iv … -win98se.17804/ WinDVD 2.1 patched to v2.6.4 will work - but that's impossible to get hold of anymore.
