For me the 8 bit range is sufficient for now,
but if you are just about to expand the range:
You could accommodate 48bit RGB colours (16bitR+16bitG+16bitB) from .bmp.
Some 16bit per component video is in sight as well for Avisynth 2.60.
Colour spaces like YV12 (12bit per sample: 8bit Y + 2bit Cb + 2 bit Cr) are there,
YV24 is coming.
And 16 bit are 65536 steps.
I guess 16bit per component will be end of the line for any video amplitude resolution for a longer time.
Maybe we will see anything extended like YV2*12
(24bit per sample:16bit Y +4bitCb + 4bit Cr).
Something is defined already: Y216, P216, P016 and more. See here:
