Problem with Decomb and MPEG2Dec3 :(

Well im following VicBond007's guide to try and rip my copy of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and convert it to an editable file. I'm only about half way through the guide but i've come into a problem trying to open my .avs file in VirtualDub.

My .avs code is as follows:
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynth2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:AviSynth2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("c:/Vampire Hunter D.d2v")
Telecide(order=1, guide=1, post=4)

But when i try to open it in VirtualDub i get an error message that says:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\AviSynth2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll"
(C:\Users\Bryan\Desktop\Vampire Hunter D.avs, line1)

But if i remove the parts concerning MPEG2Dec3 and Decomb so that it reads:
MPEG2Source("c:/Vampire Hunter D.d2v")

then it loads fine...actually if i enter the code as:
MPEG2Source("c:/Vampire Hunter D.d2v")
Telecide(order=1, guide=1, post=4)

it wont load either, saying that Telecide has no order command i think, but if i enter:
MPEG2Source("c:/Vampire Hunter D.d2v")
Telecide(guide=1, post=4)

then it works.

Can anyone help me? I may have installed a codec incorrectly so i wouldn't rule that out. Im a total noob at this

Neither one of those LoadPlugin lines should be necessary.

As far as Telecide, it sounds like you've got a newer version of the Decomb plugin (this should be the case if you grabbed the latest AMVapp). VicBond007's guide is way out of date; I recommend you follow <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... html">this page</a> instead for your IVTCing.

Oh, and you're not supposed to have audio. The D2V files only contain information for indexing the video. If you want to get audio as well from your DVDs, follow <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... l">this</a>.
