Description:

since moths ago, x264 is possible make videos with Hi10p profiles (bitdepth 10bits), but need build with --bit-depth=10 flag, this is incompatible with default depth 8

its possible add executable (without static/shared libs) with --bit-depth=10 active?

This task depends upon

Shouldn't that be something for upstream to do?

Comment by Gustavo Alvarez (sl1pkn07) - Sunday, 10 February 2013, 16:41 GMT

is in upstream since months (sorry the typo en summary :S)

./configure -> make x264 only with 8bitdeph compatible

./configure --bit-depth=10 -> make x264 only with 10bitdepth compatible (High 10bits profiles)

no exist executable with "mix mode" (with both bitdepths)

configure without flag (8bits by default) -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1633583
configure with flag (--depth=10) -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1633587

is this going to break 8 bit encoding?

Comment by Gustavo Alvarez (sl1pkn07) - Sunday, 17 February 2013, 07:44 GMT

if make 2 separate executable CLI no, break nothing

to preserve compatibility with ffmpeg (or other programs), i recomended keep build libx264.so when build x264 in 8bits mode, because if make this library with 10bits, need build another instace of ffmpeg/programs (one ffmpeg for 8bits, and another ffmpeg for 10bits). because like i say, not possible build libs/CLI with mixed mode (both 8 and 10 bits in same lib/cli)

example of pkgbuild

http://paste.ubuntu.com/1669727

this make x264 CLI and libx264.so library on 8bits. and make other instance of x264 with only CLI in 10bits mode

please test

greetings

please attach the builds. The paste link only has $pkgdir

ow :S

fixed post

do you know by any chance how other distros do this?

Comment by Gustavo Alvarez (sl1pkn07) - Sunday, 17 February 2013, 12:32 GMT

i don'k know, i belive other distro don't have idea of this feature

only see this in "fansubbing world", like some builds from different patchsets implementation, like:

http://x264.nl/ -> unofficial windows builds (untouch code)
http://x264.fushizen.eu/ -> Jeeb's Patchset
http://komisar.gin.by/ -> Komisar's Patchsets
https://astrataro.wordpress.com/ -> tMod's patchsets

for example

in all, only distribute the CLI.

in ffmpeg/libav the only method to make videos in x264-10bits is rebuild ffmpeg/libav with x264 with --bit-depth=10, other programs handle directly through CLI
