So far it seems like 10-bit color depth yuv422p10le is only available for AV1 via FFmpeg encoders libaom-av1 and librav1e. That is not yet with the from experience faster libsvtav1, which currently support pixel formats yuv420p and yuv420p10le. My AV1 (video only) test run procedure using CinGG loading a 10-bit input file, resulted in 12% smaller file size than with h265. Visually the AV1 output file seemingly is ok, but there are some CinGG output "FFStream::seek I/O errors, seek fails" I don't know what are !?
