The best options for MPEG-2 are the 'LAV Video Decoder', or the 'Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder'. Unfortunately this Microsoft decoder is only availble in some versions of Windows. It was freely included in Win7 and Vista. In more recent versions of Windows, you typically need to purchase Microsoft's DVD Player app to enable MPEG2. (Alternatively, some people have reported they sucessfully enabled MPEG2 in the 'Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder' on Windows 10 following the 32bit install instructions at https://matthill.eu/tutorials/install-windows-10-dvd-player-free/)
Lots of other decoders also work well. Many of these are included with other software you may have. Some examples include, the MainConcept decoder that comes with the Hauppauge WinTV software, or the Cyberlink decoder that comes PowerDVD, the ArcSoft decoder that comes with ArcSoft applications etc.
The ffdshow decoder also works well. You can download the ffdshow decoder from http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/, making sure you enable MPEG2 during the install (since it's disabled by default)
