conversion question

[MisterAngelus 7]

Is it possible to convert to hevc 10bit or is that not supported yet?

 

Also what's better to use between these two?

 

 

DX11VA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 

 

NVDEC GeForce GTX 760 

 

 

I know it's an old card but it works well

 

Thanks

Hi, no it's not possible at this time. Why would you want to?

hevc 10bit is a bit better quality then the normal 8bit    judging with my eyes and the encodes i see

What is the source file though that you'd be converting from? Is that 10-bit already?

[MisterAngelus 7]

I haven't tried lately but when I did try it converted the 10bit back down to 8bit

 

I know you can convert to 10bit hevc using handbrake...

in Emby the 10bit file reads  under Pixel format yuv420p10le

 

in Emby the non 10bit file reads bit depth 8 bit pixel format Pixel format yuv420p

 

and Emby will convert the 10bit back down to 8

 

 

cause I had a  TV season with some of both in it

 

Just like it converts 4k to 1080p  or at least it did last time I checked

Yes but if the source is 8-bit color, converting to 10-bit isn't going to gain anything...  The extra color information cannot be "inferred".

 

It would be like taking a 3mb/s source file and re-encoding it at 10mb/s and expecting a quality increase.
