You might wonder: if the original movie was mastered in 8-bit (most 2000s films were), does 10-bit help? Absolutely. When you compress an 8-bit source to x265, internal calculations use higher precision. The 10-bit encode reduces rounding errors, leading to less banding and better dark-area detail. Many professional encoders swear by 10-bit for all content, regardless of source. Optimizing Your Setup for "High Bit" Video You
