I use this guide to compile ffmpeg and other libraries but I have come to learn that for x265 to support 10 bit encoding it has to manually specified during the time of its compilation and from the information I could look up I found that I had to add another command to cmake while compiling which was "-HIGH_BIT_DEPTH:bool=on" and I used it as "sudo apt-get install cmake mercurial cd ~/ffmpeg_sources hg clone https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265 cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265/build/linux PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" -DENABLE_SHARED:bool=off -HIGH_BIT_DEPTH:bool=on ../../source make make install make distclean"
but even after doing so there is no change in x265 support for 10 bit while the 'ffmpeg-10bit' static build from zeranoe supports 10 bit commands just fine but since they don't have libraries like fdk_aac I don't want to use static builds. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
