can anyone explain why i get no video?

The LIVE does not support 10bit. HP@L4.1 is max as mentioned n the manual.

How Can I correct this issue with the file?  I am not well informed as to this type of information.  Is there some form of conversion i can do?

You can recode it with Handbrake which will take time, increase filesize and lose quality. IOW, better user other files, AFAIK no current standalone player supports 10bit.
