How to determine Intrablock DC precision? [CCE]

[ettin]

It says in the CCE SP 2.7 doom9 guide

"The Intra block DC precision should be set to match the source - most DVDs use 10 so set your template to use that value (you can still change it)."

So how do i determine the DC precision of my source (im assuming by source they mean source movie file)? is this the same thing as exporting a file with a 8bit/10bit codec?

It's assuming a DVD or other MPEG source. You can get that information from the free version of Bitrate Viewer:

or from ReStream:

Almost all decent retail DVDs will be using 10 bit DC Precision. That's what I set all mine to, no matter what the source.
