YV12 input hevc encoding also no hdr flag

[lazyjss]

Staxrip question
When i select the h265 Nvidia encoder the input color space is always yv12.
I am new to this and if someone would be kind enough to let me know if this is ok for my use.
It appears to signify 4:2:0 in what i can find online.
I am encoding my blu rays and my uhd blurays with a turing nvidia card into h265 hevc.
From what I can tell everything appears ok on the finished product.
AVS automatic changed to ffvideosource once i load my media.

Should i be on the look out for anything particular on my media when using this input yv12?

Also I have updated staxrip and there is no longer a hdr flag in the h265 nvidia selections, is this an issue?

Thank you for any wisdom shared

YV12 is planar 8 bit 4:2:0 but I saw you mention HDR. This would typically require at least 10 bits.

i do not have the logs here at work with me, but in the output files
shows yv12 10bit>p010
can yv12 be 10 bit at all?
not sure how to read this, is it a conversion?

YV12 fcc is 8 bit: YUV420P8

P010 fcc is 10 bit: YUV420P10

And as a mnemonic, yv12 comes from there being 12 bits per pixel; 8-bit luma and 2 bits each for Cb and Cr (one chroma sample per 4 pixels in 4:2:0).

thank you for the help, here is an excerpt from the log file

The (yv12(10bit)) is what was confusing me as I was under the impression that yv12 was 8 bit only.
Yet it appears to be a 10 bit input to 10 bit out, is this correct?

AS I know little of the source filters I have been unsure on which one to select so it has been left on automatic.

yv12(10bit)

Here YV12 is used as a synonym as YUV420, so YV12-10 is the same as YUV420P10, which is P010.

Here YV12 is used as a synonym as YUV420, so YV12-10 is the same as YUV420P10, which is P010.
And "YV12-10" is downright perverse nomenclature! It should not be used.
