10-Bit Anime editing?

[LucidAPs]

Okey so 10bit is getting more and more popular and thats good cause the quality is lovely, but sadly i cant figure out how i can convert the 10bit episodes into audioless lossless avi files ready for editing. I tryed vitrualdub+avisynth and nothing, i tryed anyvideoconverter and nothing :/

Code: Select all

ffvideosource("file.mkv")

If you have an old version, do update, as that is the problem.

Last I checked, avisynth doesn't even support 10bit though.

It will convert to 8bit internally in ffvideosource, which is by all means fine for his needs (he'll be doing 8bit editing anyway).

I thought he was trying to edit in 10bit which is possible, but annoying.

Nope, just needs to load 10bit footage in an 8bit workflow.

THANK GOD FOR THIS THREAD AND SHIN DIRECTING ME HERE .

If anyone really doesnt know what to do .

Copy the file into your avisynth plugins folder .
Then Open up a text editor .
And type in ffvideosource("file.mkv")
Replace file.mkv with the specific location of your source then save as a .avs file .
Lastly load the file on whatever program that can take this (VirtualDub) in most cases!!!

GO GO GO

Those are all info already contained in the Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides Lovingly Overhauled Largely by Zarxrax</a>, though. It's assumed one would know them...

So your saying we can edit 8bit lossless files in an editor, render it lossless then do the script thing and encode it to 10bit?

Say I wanted to rip a blu ray but wanted it to be 10bit, would I rip with lossless scenes that I want,edit them and render lossless then do that script thing into w/e x264gui with the 10bit x264 stuff?

Sorry, new to all this 10bit stuff, all I know about it is that you need a 10bit 264.exe lol

You can do it, but the process to make good 10bit is different. For 10bit to make most of its sense, you'll want to use a tool such as the dither package to bump it to 16bit and deband at 16bit and then load that avs in a 10bit build of x264. Kind of complicated if you're new to this stuff. You can of course easily just give an 8bit input to the 10bit x264, and you'll still save space, but by doing the 16bit deband you'll save extra space and have higher quality gradients.
