Hi10P and 8-bit encodes
Kagenoryu:
My opinion on the topic: besides of starting to see people discussing (or complaining) about these 10 and 8-bit things in the last few months I myself don't really know anything at all about it. I might have downloaded and played some of them when taking the latest shows I wanted episode by episode without even knowing it is 10bit (how can one find out?), but so far my PC could play everything I downloaded. And as long as it played, it's convertable for my purposes.
Still to me this all has once more the look of "quality" nowadays only meaning "most hardware using" anymore (just like sloppy coded games), which I find sad. Then again, if I don't like a version offered here, it's not like the only place in the internet to download fansubs would be here.
doll_licca:
By the way, I'm not an admin here, but I do know that they'll throw out a Hi10P offer if they feel it gives no advantage over an 8-bit encode, or if there are other factors that make them feel it's not worth taking the Hi10P offer.

I have to correct you, you can watch up to ~50Mbit 8-bit 1080p according to NVIDIA on ION.
"up to 720p" limitation for 8-bit is probably Linux imposed; you probably ain't using the GPU at all...

there is no Linux limitation : i dont' watch 1080p release because my netbook res is 1366 x 768 so it's kind of stupid to watch 1080p release here ;D when i played a 8-bit 720p the CPU is really low (the GPU temperature goes very high so VDPAU works well).
i once tried a 1080p movie mkv and it kind of freeze just at the beginning so i guess that's the limit but as i said this kind of hardware (netbook, even laptop) are designed to watch 720p releases because of the resolution. i'm not a 50" TV super mega 1080p target audience (and i will never be).
and VLC does not work well on Ubuntu (no GPU acceleration) : i'm limited to version 1.1.x because i'm on Ubuntu LTS (so i cannot watch 10-bit with beta VLC 1.2.x and must use mplayer2 which can not support VDPAU ... the circle of 10-bit NO GO is fulfilled :D)

do you sure vdpau is running?
mplayer2 support vdpau even better than mplayer (which im using), you need to specify the video output drivers(vo=vdpau) and video codecs(vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffodivxvdpau), im not sure about settings on mplayer2vdpau works like a charm on mplayer2 for me, the settings are the same
also, im not sure about vdpau support on hi10p(that's why this post is made), dont test it on hi10p
ferrari:
on the PC watching either 10-bit or 8-bit is ok but what about media-players? I mean hardware media-players which comes as box with Ethernet slot so you can connect it to NAS and watch HD anime on your huge TV-set. AFAIK there is no one such device on market now which can support 10-bit coding.
