Hi10P and 8-bit encodes

Only a few are a couple of percentage points bigger.

That's BS. There is no way that a reencode, especially from 10bit to 8bit, is going to be smaller AND have the same quality as the original. Just because YOU can't see the problems does not mean they are not there.
And for the last time: BakaBT has NEVER pandered to the hardware demographic.

Why are you stopping there, ask him to show some proof.May be he will introduce us to a new generation of video encoding.

The guys who are more active in the very site, at least in my opinion, are more likely to be more active in the fansub scene as a whole, thus more likely to prefer 10bit.

Very true+ those guys will come after another month and say "The one I downloaded(8-bit) wasn't the best version? So much about BakaBT storing the best quality!"

Yet even before 10-bit they still couldn't render ASS subtitles properly, nor could they probably play anything above Level 4.1 High Profile H.264, and beyond that good luck trying to get ordered chapters to work on them. There has already been lots and lots of 8-bit fansub releases that would be incompatible with your plastic toy.
Fansubbers do not cater to hardware players. You should have known this when you bought a plastic toy with limited capabilities to play fansubs.
Also, if you want the most performance out of your PC for 10-bit playback, use LAV H.264 decoder with xy-vsfilter or alternatively mplayer2 (the faster subtitle rendering with libass might help you quite a bit).
AceD:
Nearly all fansubs and BD releases (Coalgirls, THORA etc) are released for PC, and for playback on PC...peoples opinions on holding the push back just because some overpriced shit or console can't play 10-bit should be completely ignored
Puiu:
I really can't understand why people want to play 1080p on screens that aren't 1080p. i don't expect to play 1080p on my 2007 laptop and i don't even want to.
Now back on topic:
I noticed when i switched to 10bit fansubs that there was much less banding and some even had better contrast/colors, but i'm not sure if 10bit is the cause - maybe the size has something to do with that, also most releases are the same size or smaller than 8bit ones.
I'm using potplayer beta (the new and much improved kmplayer) with LAV and MadVR. 720p works just fine.
It is time to switch to something new. BakaBT is about having the best! This is the only reason i come here.
PS: complaining that your netbook won't be able to play 1080p? pretty lame.
