Source is 8bit but with "high bitrate". Advantage of using 10bit is anime specific only, and for source without noise. In that case, you can encode with "low bitrate" and avoid/reduce banding effect, you'll have with the same bitrate enconding in 8bit.

I'm getting very annoyed by more and more Hi10P encoded anime and even some groups started using it for movies for not much good reason.
Disk storage or even BD-R is cheap but upgrading my perfectly running fanless E-350 HDTV + 24/7 P2P client at 65W with all things running (including external devices) is relatively expensive , so I certainly wish they will just stay with 8-bit.
Anyway, I'm thinking about upgrading it to E2-2000 or i3, lower power consumption is better.
Anyone has experience with E2-1800 or E2-2000 with Hi10P? Will that give smooth playback?

I've got some hi10p files which are playing fine in VLC on my measly HTPC but XBMC won't play them (audio, subtitles, no video)
Should I upgrade to an alpha of 13? would it make any difference?

Actually, weird - my desktop PC with a 5850 ATI card can play the files in XBMC but my little HTPC can't play them in XBMC - only VLC
That seems odd to me?

XBMC stable doesn't support hi10p, but the nightlies do. Vlc has supported it for a while, so thats no surprise.
XBMC v12 stable does support Hi10P.

Ah, my bad. My head is stuck in Eden apparently.

Anyone experiencing issues with choppiness/frame decimation in Frodo on Ubuntu?
I just tried playing back the first Hi10P encode on said system, and it played back at ~7 fps (Game of Thrones 1080p24 MKV from BluRay).
The CPU usage was negligible, and it's a Q9400 Quad, so there's no bottleneck there.
I tried manually disabling VDPAU and the other acceleration options because I thought it might be the GPU trying to play it back and failing, but it made no difference (an NVIDIA GT 520 usually does the decoding for the system).
Frodo runs in standalone mode, there's no DM installed. Therefore it usually achieves perfect syncing to my plasma at all the different FPSes.
The only time I remember seeing something similar is with some WMV encoded HD content (x-art).
