I posted two builds previously--the standard build, and the 'mt' build. The mt build allows multithreaded decoding of hi10 content, but breaks DXVA decoding; the standard build is compatible with DXVA decoding, but only decodes video in a single thread. Both allow you to play 10-bit video, but the mt build may help weaker CPUs that struggle when decoding hi10 content.
For now, the nightlies take the approach of single-threaded, DXVA support. If you have a decently powerful CPU, this will be fine. Hopefully the devs can figure out a way to get the best of both worlds, with multithreaded decoding for all non-DXVA accelerated content. From what I understand, there are some architectural issues that need to be solved first.
