    Where did you source 10 bit x264?

    You can convert it to 10 bit MPeg2 YCbCr or better 10 bit Cineform Neo if you need to do serious editing.

  3. Some anime fansubbers are starting to use 10-bit encoding for more efficient compression. Anyways, I can play them just fine with MPC and CoreAVC 3.0

    I'd rather not to have convert anything... just doing some simple cutting and splicing.

    What does "10 bit" and "MPeg2" and "YCbCr" mean?

    duh?

    All on the web sir. Heard of Google?

    10bit video = 64 to 960 (inside 0-1023)

    MPeg2 = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2

    YCbCr = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YCbCr or http://www.poynton.com/ColorFAQ.html

    Could you please explain how 10 bit is more efficient for compression? I understand that more color information can lead to better quailty.

    Pro cams record 10 bit. Consumer cams don't.

    If you record 8 bit, 10 bit conversion is relatively lossy. That is unless you need a 10 bit timeline in which case only the 8 bit source suffers loss.

    Anyways, there's no way to edit 10-bit video in Premiere Pro CS5.

    I'm sure there is in YCbCr (since CS2) but I don't have CS5.
