Will you accept 10-bit MP4s? They’re much better quality!Spoiler :

Due to that fact that no source AMV editors work with is actually 10bit...I don't see why anyone should even ask. I can understand for an upload to the org or something, as it allows you to save more space...but considering the source material is 8bit to begin with...they could just jack the bitrate up if you are concerned about quality.

Since a lot of encoding wisdom for fansubbing is directly relevant to AMVs, I figured that 10-bit encoding might become a thing here as well, which would suck. 10-bit files are a pain to work with and have a lot of negative tradeoffs (only plays in specific players, looks scrambled in CS6, no hardware acceleration support, no set-top box can play them). All for what is, to me, only a miniscule quality/space improvement.

It doesn't change the facts behind my statement, the SOURCE MATERIAL is not originally 10-bit, they simply filter and encode it to 10-bit as it allows them to compress it more without having the noticeable side effects of compressing the same amount in 8-bit. I am very much familiar with 10-bit and what it is and isn't being used for, and there is NO way a AMV editor will have legitimate 10bit footage. Even working with these 10-bit anime encodes, they have to be converted BACK TO 8-Bit to even be usable in the editing software, so even if it were legit 10-bit footage it has already been cut back to 8-bit before it even enters the editing software.

I've had that dream before.
Only that all of the finalists were Pauly Shore movie videos.
