Lots of talk about anime and blu-ray, but one thing that seems to be left out of the discussion is consumer created content: Affordable hd camcorders that support extended gamut (xvYCC/x.v.Color) are already available. Modern TV's, graphics cards, and amplifiers with hdmi 1.3+ are all capable of handling 10-bit+ content... but xbmc doesn't. It might seem like a pointless trend to some people, but maybe I want to archive my family videos in the best possible quality. Discarding color information by using an unsuitable encoding profile is the equivalent of telling an audiophile that lossy compression is good enough.
