You need the free x264vfw codec from Sourceforge.
You'll probably also need to demux your audio and import it separately.

i downloaded it and i can import them now but the frames skip for the video in preview, ive also notice that i have my preview settings to best (auto) but when i click play it switches to preview (auto) dk if that has anything to do with it

Glad you got it to import.
Preview optimizing is another big topic; use the forum Search feature.
