Hi10P and 8-bit encodes
parusit:
After quite a while seeing on this topic, I would say in short (my sum up opinion)
'10-bit all the way' policy is still a bit premature.
But the deepest of my mind saying "I want whatever method that would make the accepting process fastest"
ps : the amount of 10-bit torrents on bakabt is just about 4 pages of browsing for now.

1) Coming to this thread while bashing whichever option you don't like with insults and angry posts won't make your cause be heard, most likely it'll just show how immature you are.
2) This thread is talking about whether to 'treat 10-bit and 8-bit equally', which means that the 10-bit and 8-bit will be equally compared as well before acceptance. If the 10-bit is better, then take 10-bit. If 8-bit is, then take 8-bit. Similar to the Xvid/H.264 case, if the Xvid rip better than the H.264 (which happens in some rare cases), then take Xvid. So there's no reason for angry posts like yours; if the 10-bit really is worse then it won't be accepted anyway. (Though I'm really wondering, can you point out the 10-bit rip which is larger AND has more banding than the 8-bit? So far I've seen none, especially stuff accepted on BakaBT).
For "6 months wait period", it's already been 6 months since 10-bit rips first started to come out. In the end though, I don't really care the end result, since 10-bit's acceptance won't be affected by 8-bit of lower quality anyway.
tripodal:
I come to BakaBT for the best quality. Seeing as in some cases currently the best possibly quality is only achievable with 10bit, the choice should be simple, 10bit. (With the uncommon exception of the superior 8-bit.)
Sure there was a learning curve in getting 10bit to work, and it certainly wont play on all of my hardware, but that' what the lower resolution releases are for, are they not? I believer that the vast majority of Laptop PC's (core2 duo +) and all desktops with 2 or more cores should be able to play 10bit @1080. (This describes 3 year old hardware.) If there are issues with playback seek help, I have the feeling there are more than a few ubernerds here who're happy to assist.
I will never have sympathy for users of netbooks and tablets.
They sing the same song in every forum - my netbook won't do x, I can't afford a PC.
If the switch to 10bit leaves you unable to watch 1080p/720p releases you will suddenly have a lot more free time. I suggest a part time job to fill that void while you gather funds for replacing your disposable netbook with modern hardware. This time be sure to do some research before you unknowingly handicap yourself.
christantoan:
I'll go with whatever the staffs pick (even though I voted for second option). Since they are the one who will do most of the work. But if I can't play it, I'll find another source. Since technology is always moving forward anyway. :D
For me it's always "If you don't like it, then don't get it"
BTW what it is going to be called, Hi10P or 10 bit? (I choose Hi10P because it looks cooler :D)
fullblue:
Transition should be made slowly, step by step. Such a sudden transition will only result to outrage. My machine can play 10-bit but the software is lacking. Either it plays properly with occasional "auto quit" or produce a lot of white noise that it hurts my ears.
