Grain in VirtualDub

Disclaimer: I'm really new to this!

I've created an AVS script to use my MKV video in VirtualDub. It only has one line, FFVideoSource("video.mkv")? When I open that up in VirtualDub, there is a lot of artificating, which isn't present if I open the video up in Media Player Classic.

Here's what it looks like in MPC:

And here's what VirtualDub is giving me:

You can see what I'm talking about specifically next to the sweat drop directly under his open eye--a big block of gross artifacts (to say nothing of the color, but one problem at a time)? I've looked into RemoveGrain or trying to use LSMASHSource, but the former doesn't fix the problem, and the latter won't even load (and I do have the DLL in the AviSynth plugin folder and the registry recognizes this as the correct folder)? I've looked through a couple of guides, but I'm at a loss as to what to do, or why the grain it's present in VirtualDub yet not MPC.

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to your advice!

While solving with LWLibavVideoSource would be best, simply updating ffvideosource will do.
Here's the latest build: https://github.com/FFMS/ffms2/releases
Just change the ffms2.dll in the avisynth plugins folder, it will be enough.
You can also update ffmsindex.exe and ffms2.avsi if you wish.
