Also, that guide has a lot of errors. For starters, they keep using still images to compare Hi10P to High Profile content. They also claim Hi10P is the future, when it's actually an 8 year old profile that was only meant for professional/studio use. The future is H.265, which beats the pants off of any profile for H.264. H.265 has broad support from venders, and will eventually have hardware decoding (might take a while for it to be wide spread) while Hi10P might not ever have hardware support.
Bummer. Judging by the history, H265 will be interesting to me only after there's a good open-source encoder. Until then, the anime scene is unlikely to pick it up.
Anyway, what about some other "exotic" video format/encoding features - 50fps, 60fps, VFR?
And of course, what about ASS subtitle rendering (preferably using libass)?
