https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D238773 --- Comment #23 from amvandemore@gmail.com --- 8 bit is absolutely required because it's the standard bit depth for any co= mmon video of decent quality for some time. 10 bit might be optional for most x2= 65 users but is required by some. That divide between optional and mandatory f= or x265 is shifting towards mandatory. 8 and 10 bit decoders are both very commonly found in mid-level and up devices including mobile. 12 bit is very rarely used IME and that is unlikely to change anytime in the foreseeable near-term, but none of us can see all ends. Perhaps that too w= ill change. Dolby Vision and other contenders may be able to make it useful. HDR/HDR10 is similar to 10 bit in that it is optional for some users as it requires full chain(encoder, player and display) support, but mandatory for others if possible. I have a whole stack of 4k movies waiting to be encoded into my VOD collection and when I do so, the encoder **will** have HDR* support. If not the FreeBSD port, then something else will have to do. All that being said, I think all 3 profiles should be installed by default.= =20 Most people encoding videos have multiple needs and the needs grow, not shr= ink. I'm guessing the extra compile time and disk space is going to be quite negligible to anyone taking on HEVC encoding. So it seems to me to be only= a matter of port complexity and the implementation. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
