Solved Issue 10-bit h264 (Hi10) Support?

I'm probably going to Just try and reincode the 10 bit files back to 8bit. This guy seems to have a way to do it using Mkvmerge

I doubt that any of these 10bit files "floating on the web" are from 10bit sources, since this is studio quality sources which only available on studios AND NOT SOLD or RELEASED on media or internet for anyone's consumption (never mind encoding). But hey who cares if ppl perpetuate and enforce pointless things. right? (rhetorical)

My last post here also, as all the information is now provided and further regurgitation wont help anyone.

As above, the original is 8 bit reencoded to 10bit and then reecoded back to 8bit by this "group". nothing wrong with this right? (rhetorical)

Yup, the source is 8bit.

My english not that good, i hope i can catch what you mean.

if you mean the video quality, it just worse video quality, but because of this is the efect of encoding that will make you loose some quality.
perhap you could understand what i mean if read this http://commiesubs.com/how-to-convert-10bit-to-8bit/

but if you mean, what that group doing, is nothing wrong.
as fansuber release hi10p too, nothing wrong too.

this my last post too, thanks for chat with me, i hope my experience about anime in Hi10p with laptop Asus 1215B with AMD E450 will help someone.
it's my time to try new ubuntu release and enjoying anime with OpenELEC.

Source is 8bit but with "high bitrate". Advantage of using 10bit is anime specific only, and for source without noise. In that case, you can encode with "low bitrate" and avoid/reduce banding effect, you'll have with the same bitrate enconding in 8bit.

I was able to almost get hi10p to work on my AMD E-450 using Lavfilters + KMPlayer with h264 and AV using the lavfilters and just for good measure priority set to high in taskmgr for Kmplayer

It was only choppy once and a while with most scenes playing smoothly. Gives me some hope that Future releases of XBMC might have better Hi10p playback capabilities

I'm getting very annoyed by more and more Hi10P encoded anime and even some groups started using it for movies for not much good reason.
Disk storage or even BD-R is cheap but upgrading my perfectly running fanless E-350 HDTV + 24/7 P2P client at 65W with all things running (including external devices) is relatively expensive , so I certainly wish they will just stay with 8-bit.

Anyway, I'm thinking about upgrading it to E2-2000 or i3, lower power consumption is better.
Anyone has experience with E2-1800 or E2-2000 with Hi10P? Will that give smooth playback?

Does Intel G 2010 (Dual core, 2 core, 2 thread, 2.8 Ghz) can run a 1080p hi10p video?

Thanks
