OK I think I figured something out,the first 4 seconds of this file has no image or sound,so I just figured what if I took off about 4-5 seconds and then save,so I did,and wallah,now I am able to open the file up,so I will start encoding tonight,so in short,I think there was something screwy in the very beginning of this file that was NOT letting avisynth and cce open this correctly,and giving errors.
thanks again to everyone,and I hope this encodes OK,then on to the NTSC version,I will do the PAL first.
