Failed to Load Plugin

I'm trying to import some footage (.VOB file) and a Avisynth (v 2.5) Script into virtualdub (v 1.7.7). and whenever i try i get this message.

Avisynth open failure:
Load Plugin: <insert> [E:\LE_foot\LE.avs, line 2]

I was wondering what was wrong with what i have?

this is my .Avs File

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomd521.dll")
MPEG2Source("E:\LE_foot\ep1.d2v", idct=5, CPU=4, ipp=true)
Telecide(order=0, guide=1, post=4)
Decimate(quality=3)

BTW I'm using Last Exile (First Move) for the DVD im trying to rip from

If your using the stuff provided in the new AMVapp, you don't need to load any plugins for most things in avisynth. Those lines aren't needed.

hmm i removed those lines but i still got the same error message. hmm think that i need to change the location of the files? i know it probably doesn't matter but just making sure.

You only need to provide the correct path and filename of your d2v file.

it's decomb521.dll, not decomd521.dll

and it should autoload as Bashar mentioned.

and when you delete those two lines, does it give you the same exact error message?
what program did you use to index your .vobs?

Actually, sometimes plugins - even when placed in the plugins folder - won't autoload. I think Decomb sometimes falls prey to that, and maybe even MPEG2Dec3 does. I seem to remember reading such things before (and the whole issue of that 'trickyloaders' folder).

There have also been times that having too many plugins in there force none to be loaded at all or for AviSynth to crash completely - this happened to me, just using the default lineup from one of the AMVapps (don't know if it was v1 or v2). Hence one of the reasons I've actually sworn off using the thing and updating plugins, that folder, and the programs therein manually.

I'll just be happy when the 3.0 beta leaves the beta stage and replaces the main one, even if I don't have current or future plans to use it. Then maybe the amount of Decomb and DVD2AVI-related problems will finally drop off. Or maybe that would happen simply by killing off VicBond's guide once and for all.
