Andrea, I do not pretend to understand the 10/12 bit world, but about: PS: I don't understand well the function of
"compile_multibit_X265.txt". Even without patching it and moving it to .../src, the 10 and 12 bit x265 profiles appear anyway and work fine. (they also work without applying the 32-60-61-64 patch).
The default pixel value for h265-10bit and h265-12bit is yuv42*2p10le* and yuv42*2p12le* respectively. There is a whole lot of discussion about 420 versus 422 (again, which I do not understand). If you try to render with these pixel values in the 8-bt version of CinGG you will get this error message and immediate failure: [libx265 @ 0x7f2cd4efc1c0] Specified pixel format yuv422p12le is invalid or not supported However, in the multibit CinGG, they will work AND there is definite color differences noticeable through out the whole video when I run ydiff on a pixel format of yuv422p10le versus yuv420.
