#61075 closed defect (duplicate)

ffmpeg lacks 10-bit x265 support

Reported by: Haravikk Owned by: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)
Port: x265

Description

It's currently not possible to use any 10-bit (or 12-bit) options with ffmpeg and libx265, such as yuv420p10le, yuv422p10le or yuv444p10le.

The reason for this is that the x265 port is not built with any of these options enabled, as reported in ticket #59860, however as there are currently no maintainer(s) listed for that port I wasn't really sure what else to do, which is why I'm cross-reporting this as an ffmpeg issue (as ffmpeg seems the main port that uses x265 anyway).

Sorry if this is completely the wrong way to do get this issue addressed, but #59860 has been open for 8 months, and it's a problem that still affects the Macports port of ffmpeg when working with 10-bit and 12-bit content. I've tried a couple of times to build x265 myself but frankly have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to fixing any issues or packaging for Macports, so I thought it's about time to find someone else :)

I understand your frustration, but having two tickets open for the same issue doesn't actually help it get fixed. I'll Cc the ffmpeg maintainers on the existing ticket, but there's no guarantee they will have both the time and knowledge to work on this. If anyone does know how to make this work, opening a pull request on GitHub is the best way to get the change into the port.
