10-Bit H.264

For all those who haven’t heard of it already, here’s a quick rundown about the
newest trend in making our encodes unplayable on even more systems: So-called
high-bit-depth H.264. So, why another format, and what makes this stuff
different from what you know already?

First off: What is bit depth?
In short, bit depth is the level of precision that’s available for storing color
information. The encodes you’re used to have a precision of 8 bits (256 levels)
