Stupid question: 10bit right?
28/05/2012 00:56 — Anonymous
10-bit.  Not stupid question, this group does both 8-bit and 10-bit so if they don't label...

To determine it yourself, click on the file name above to view its header information and scroll about one page down.  Look for something like "Format profile: High 10@L(X).0" or another 12 lines or so down for "Bit depth: 10 bits" either/both mean 10-bit or Hi10P.  For 8-bit, look for "Format profile: High@L(X).0" or another 12 lines or so down for "Bit depth: 8 bits (or 24 bits)"  ("X" can be several values, it doesn't matter).

Another nice thing is header gives you sample pictures to look at.  Also provides info on audio and subtitle tracks.

By the way, SubDesu has the 720p 8-bit BD, for those who want 8-bit.

Rizlim is releasing a 10-bit with FLAC, for those who want a lossless audio track, in 720p and 576p AND (the best part) Two Subtitle tracks.  In other words, 2 translations to choose from. Track 1: Hiryuu Sub Track 2: AFFTW-Hatsuyuki.

Hiryuu is the default subtitle, and probably the best translation.  AFFTW-Hatsuyuki is also very good.

Note: 720p 10-bit with FLAC may choke some machines.

"Note: 720p 10-bit with FLAC may choke some machines."

I've actually heard similar things said in various places, but out of interest, what sort of setups actually have this issue?
I don't know specifics, but a sub-100MHz embedded RISC processor can easily decode 16-bit stereo FLAC flawlessly. MP3/AAC probably have similar decoding requirements, so FLAC itself shouldn't be particularly slow to decode (and even if it were, should be insignificant in the big scheme of things).
Next part is 10-bit video, which is a fair chunk of processing, although I watch 720p 10-bit + FLAC on a Intel Atom N270 CPU (roughly equivalent to a 2.4GHz Pentium 4) without issue.

People running outdated codecs, or got way too much crapware installed?
If anyone has experienced such a thing, I'd love to hear what sort of setup you have!

Perhaps Rizlim has had complaints and could describe the problems they hear about.  Otherwise, why would they offer a 576p-Hi10P in addition to the 720p-Hi10P?

btw, you left out the third simultaneous task, rendering the softsubs.  Subtitle lag is usually the first problem to crop up for people who have problems.  I suspect Windows itself is a big part of the overall mess for some people.  As you know, it slices cpu time and resources between a ton of services that the average user will never need such as, for example, fax rendering.  Additionally, mainstream Windows is 64bit, but most of the codecs and video players used by anime folks (like the CCCP advocates) are 32bit with a vow never to go 64bit (which would mean starting over).  That can't be good.   I believe Windows gave up on the dual 64/32 hybrid environment sometime ago, and no matter how good an emulator is...  As for Atom and anime --this is the first time I've seen both in one sentence without curse words attached.  Then something has improved, and I'm glad to hear it.  Perhaps they've tuned-up the limited "Starter" version of Windows that it uses to initiate fewer services.  Most techies previously wrote off the netbook crowd as DOA.

The Subtitle lag problems I hear about tend to hit worst during OPs and ENs where there's a lot of video changes (action/textures) in addition to music and Karaoke effects.  Perhaps there's some particular bottleneck involved, instead of overall instructions per cycle or bandwidth.  Mostly likely the problem is in the subtitle renderings.  A lot of groups have gone to hard-subbing the karaoke now.  And FFFpeeps (as it happens) I believe outlined a faster/better subtitle rendering system in a note some months ago.  I don't recall the specifics of it.  This again suggests what problems their people had were in the subtitles.

Thanks for the reply.

ASS rendering without animations/k-timings (as this can be disabled) usually isn't too bad from what I've seen, then I guess people do enable them by default. I've been using the built-in MPC-HC renderer, maybe vsfilter is slower (one can try xy-vsfilter if they're using the plain vsfilter).
I'd imagine, though, that the audio stream should have practically no impact still.

Only reasons I could think of for the lower resolution would be smaller filesize or playability on lower powered computers.

I'm running a stripped version of Windows XP 32-bit on the netbook, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Windows 7 64-bit still does have WOW64 support, so it does run 32-bit code natively, and as for useless processes, one would imagine that the Windows scheduler is good enough to not waste CPU time on processes that don't need the CPU.

Anyway, I don't really have any other insight. Maybe it's just that my setup is better than most others ( MPC-HC, using Overlay renderer, subtitle animations disabled; video and audio decoded by ffdshow (skip deblocking when safe enabled) - you could get more of a speed up by disabling deblocking entirely, although this may cause some video artifacts to appear).

Bingo!  Yours is the only netbook I've encountered that's running 32-bit XP.  I can squeeze a lot out of any ancient and feeble hardware with XP-32bit.  I've even run 720p-Hi10P ACC with softsubs on a 10 year old Celeron with XP-32bit.  But is there somewhere out there an Atom netbook with Win7-64 playing 720p-Hi10P FLAC and subs that runs "flawlessly"?  I'd love to hear it could be done.  And since XP updates end in about a year or so, perhaps that's a project in your future?  If anyone could do it, if not you then who...  

(To explain my pessimism, I do consider WOW64 to be an emulator/translator with the associated limitations and performance hits and that native applications are defined by whether the memory mappings/address spaces are 32-bit or 64-bit, and that this is a part of the problem in achieving acceptable 32-bit video playback performance with a Win7-Atom netbook, no matter what else you trim out of Win7.  Interestingly, there is a 64-bit version of MPC-HC,, as there is for Windows own Media Center,  but I'm not sure how ready for prime-time either are.)

Lastly, back to the original topic, you were interested in FLAC performance?  I've noticed that even Winamp coughs a bit when I play FLAC, for no reason I can see.  I'm guessing most current video/audio players began when lossless was considered impractical and optimizing encodes was the whole ballgame.

The N270 doesn't support 64-bit, so the most you could do is Windows 7 32-bit.
The newer Atoms support 64-bit, and come with Windows 7 Starter preinstalled, but they're somewhat faster than the N270.

x64 CPUs support executing 32-bit code natively. There's some translation in kernel space, but user-mode code shouldn't really experience much of a performance hit at all.
There's a 64-bit version of MPC-HC, as well as ffdshow, LAV, Haali etc and they're relatively mature and work quite well.

As for FLAC, I don't quite see why anyone wouldn't use the official libFLAC implementation, which is fairly well tested, portable, performs reasonably well and available under a fairly liberal license. I can't comment about Winamp though - perhaps merely a buffering issue?

i think they stopped subbing, their site has expired the host

Are you talking about FFFpeeps? No they didn't and their website works fine. The host expired for fffansubs.com, but not fffansubs.org.
