i was looking at y4m piping at high bit depth (inspired by latest x264 patches), and found two interesting links.. https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/399289-Need-help-converting-RAW-YUV-to-Y... there is claim none of Linux video editors were able to open raw teststreams. link provided in message doesn't work for me, but this one worked http://ultravideo.fi/#testsequences if you have ssd/nvme disk and/or 4 gb of free ram to play this - you can test) another link is about ffmpeg itself, it has bug in this area in early 2017, but hopefully it was fixed? https://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-174314.html until very lately I was under impression you only can pipe 8-bit (per channel) video.. but i was wrong? (not tested with cingg yet)
