will you ever start doing these in 10 bit? if not, i could understand due to encoding time, but it would reduce banding and future proof these releases. other than that, you're doing gods work by promoting this codec for weekly releases. this is the way to increase adoption of a codec! once plex finally supports av1 then i'll be downloading these releases

@gavingood1 I'll do them in 10 bit when 10 bit assembly comes out. it's pretty hard to play for the average user right now. I still do 10 bit for my main releases though.

does anyone have 10bit displays to watch it on?

@shibaki The point of 10 bit is for 10 bit compression. The idea is to keep gradients from banding, not necessarily to be watched in 10 bit. here's one of the many explanations: http://x264.nl/x264/10bit_02-ateme-why_does_10bit_save_bandwidth.pdf

Thanks for sharing that pdf. I knew that 10bit encoding does better compression than 8 bit, but didn't completely understand why. The link puts some clarifications to this :D

Avoid 10bit until it is as fast as 8bit to decode. Currently it is too slow. The statement in that PDF about problems of MPEG H264 encoding which make 10bit better for motion estimation do not necessarily apply to other codecs. I would not presume that it applies to AV1.
