Ok, i had to restart my computer because my sound card was screwy......and now when i exported the huffy, it was 79 mb (this is with the 30 mb audio O.O too!!!) so they would have been the same file size (both the original crappy huffy and this new one). But the real shocker was that I had used that film effect for the majority of that 10 seconds!!! So when I used the xvid 1st pass, it now only totaled 3 mb(keep in mind with uncompressed audio (i will compress later!))and and average bit rate of 1867 kbps compared to that 10000 kbps or so earlier.

So, when you want to use that stupid noise film effect for whatever reason, do not use it. Thank you everyone! I hope others will learn from my mistake.....as silly as it was

Not all video requires the same amount of data to encode. While the first X amount of seconds might be fucking huge, the rest of the video may well be easy to compress, and offset the huge bit rate spending at the beginning.

True, but as I said earlier, it probably isn't worth it. I would be better off using a different effect plugin.....then that crappy one. But if I did, playback may also become a problem as the video would start out with a huge bitrate and then mellow out. (My computer is horrible by the way...)
