ConvertBits(10)?

[Forteen88]

I used this script,
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins64+\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("C:\temp\x265-testencode\LibrarySweetgirl.mp4", colorspace = "YV12", cachefile = "C:\temp\x265-testencode\LibrarySweetgirl.mp4.ffindex")
ConvertBits(10)But then AviSynth+ writes: "Error trying to display the clip".
When I remove ConvertBits(10), AviSynth+ displays the image well.

Does this mean that I need hardware that can display 10 bit images? I got a ~3 years old laptop.

Thanks,
/Newbie :)

"Error trying to display the clip" isn't an AviSynth+ error at all. It's an error message of the software you are using to open the AviSynth script. Seems like it cannot handle the 10 bit format. You don't need 10 bit display hardware.

What is it you are trying to do?

@sneaker_ger. Thanks. I'm trying to make a x265 10-bit reencode of a h264-8-bit video clip. I don't know if it's necessary to have the "ConvertBits(10)" in my script, is it?
Or can I just have this script for x265 to make a x265 10-bit encode?
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins64+\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("C:\temp\x265-testencode\LibrarySweetgirl.mp4", colorspace = "YV12", cachefile = "C:\temp\x265-testencode\LibrarySweetgirl.mp4.ffindex")

I set x265 to --crf 18 --preset slower --profile main10 --output-depth 10

This is the same question (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1845621#post1845621) I asked a couple of weeks ago.

Long story short, you don't need to convert bitdepth.

Long story short, you don't need to convert bitdepth.Thanks! I suspected that, because I tried feeding x265 an AVS-script with ConvertBits(10), and it resulted in x265-error.
