Why the source does not make in 10 bits (this better)?
Converting from 8 bits to 10 does not do better. It’s like adding mayonnaise to your food - it helps to mask flaws.
As an OG backer for this project I appreciate finding it here since the original team for this has pretty much broken up. Failed trying to find a legitimate way to re-download this. Thanks ReinForce!
There’s really no need for 10-bit here. 10-bit’s major advantage is that it won’t introduce banding in low bitrate encodes as it wipes away the source’s dither. ReinForce doesn’t do low bitrate encodes and maintains whatever dither’s there.
10-bit also allows you to maintain high bit depth debanding without having to dither it down to 8 bit and try to maintain the dither pattern through encoding. Better to just let a high quality renderer like madVR do it on playback. ReinForce doesn’t deband so he doesn’t need this.
There is a small compression advantage to 10-bit but it’s really not much, and it’s much slower to encode.

lol wtf, screamer link in 2017? ^

thanks for uploading and encoding
sir, is this episodes 10-bit or 8-bit ?

8-bit (as a source)
RozDa
but why ?
if 10-bit better , why you don’t do it ?
