LoadPlugin: unable to load

[xelagot]

I installed AviSynth 2.55 (after uninstalling previous versions), put MPEGDecoder.dll in its plugins folder.

I made the following script:

LoadPlugin("MPEGDecoder.dll")
MPEGSource("e:\VOBS\ep12_2.vob+e:\VOBS\ep12_3.vob,0,ff")

In VirtualDubMod, I started the script, and got this message:
AviSynth open failure:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "MPEGDecoder.dll"
(e:\VOBS\ep12.avs, line 1)

I tried putting the full plugins path (AS is installed in
c:\2DGraphics\AviSynth\AviSynth 255)
but that didn't help.

I also tried loading other plugins, like DirectShowSource.dll, with a similar result. I checked the registry, and found the plugins directory mentioned in HKLM\SOFTWARE\AviSynth, key "Plugindir2_5" with value "C:\2DGraphics\AviSynth\AviSynth 255\plugins" (without quotes).

To make sure, I tested also with VirtualDub and BSPlayer Pro.

I have XP pro latest sp and crit. updates.

the statement Version() works fine and reports 2.55.

Any idea what's wrong?

BTW, I've never yet used AviSynth.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this has been addressed before, I could not find an appropriate answer.

Try changing the dir name so that it has no spaces in it, and then try this:

LoadPlugin("C:\2DGraphics\AviSynth\AviSynth255\plugins\MPEGDecoder.dll")

That did the magic, thanks :)
