It has to do with something like how they are being compressed and that. I remember seeing a posted picture around somewhere explaining the proccess. Its really not noticeable. Maybe 1MB-10MB less with a file size of 300 i think.Wait, 10 bits of color depth take up less space then 8? This is news to me.
I meant more like thisHow exactly do you search for 10-bit color planes in a video search? LOL, there any sites with legal samples like how Apple's site has QT videos?
I have to agree with this. I've used Mplayer2 for a pretty long time now and it has played everything I threw at it without a need for codecs. The main reason I stopped using VLC was because it doesn't support ordered chapters. If you have a MKV file with ordered chapters, VLC WILL crash/stop whenever the chapter changes.Mplayer2 > > > Potplayer > > > any other player

I like how u edited your post to a link which i edited and posted before you. Keep in mind that what i watch is usually anime 90% of the time. Its very visible in the skies etc. And rather than theory. is a fact.8-bit color=256 colors and a palette, shared among 3 color channels.
24-bit color=16777216 colors with no palette, shared among 3 color channels.
So what you're talking about is 24-bit and 30-bit direct color planes, or 8-bit and 10-bit palettes? There's quite a bit of difference. I thought MPEG and others used 24-bit color? If so, there shouldn't be any visual difference going to 30-bit color. But if it's 8-bit, then that would make a small improvement and mostly to smoothly shaded images (like some animation). For movies, it would be useless since it's VERY rare to have the banding effect that 8-bit color gives on gradients. Part of the reason is that photos are highly containing of random noise. Edit: OK, found some info. It seems that it is 24-bit and 30-bit as I thought. Here's some theory about 10-bit versus 8-bit color channels.
Haha. CCCP installs so easily that you start to think if that was CCCP itself x)Well while I won't say it's bad, I personally rather have MPC with K-lite or CCCP. Well back in the day, loooooooong ago, it was pretty terribad iirc but I guess it's pretty decent now.
PS: I rmbr reading in some forum somewhere saying that VLC is superior because it's simpler to install than K-lite or CCCP codec pack.... I swore that I wanted to headdesk myself to death.
I literally see almost no difference between the two screen shots. If it wasn't for the fact that it changed from one to the other on mouse over (i.e. if they were two separate images), I'm pretty sure I could not tell them apart. Now I see why people have problems with VLC - they are the equivalents of "audiophiles" for video. Is there a word for that? "Videophiles"?So I got some screenshots ready.

There are those dark blocks almost everywhere on the shelf in that picture, but the thing I noticed first was: Why can't it even display the colours properly? The background colours look washed out (everything lost its saturation), not to mention the artifacts at the sides block out some of the video and there is excessive banding.
VLC has improved over the years (from way back when a certain fansub group crashed VLC with a bug they found in the subtitle renderer), but it is apparantly still too broken to be used to display videos. At least I didn't get a green screen.
Please do not use VLC unless it's your last resort.

*Looks round room with his 20/20 vision* Nope, pretty sure I'm not blind nor colour blind. There is a small difference yes, but absolutely nothing worth caring about, let alone making a big deal out of.If you don't see any big difference on the two image's you're blind/color blind :/
