- So what do you recommend to do next ? Normal / Decode Format - Which ?

For a native 10bit file (not stacked), Cineform in vdub2 requires normal or full recompress. It might be the same for stacked , not sure. I would avoid stacked all together if possible.

You can verify output with other tools, such as 10bit waveforms. ffmpeg has one, and avisynth does too now. If you test a 0-1023 gradient, you will see if there were problems somewhere , such as an 8bit intermediate step somewhere, which will manifest as gaps


One bizarre issue with some DCT based codecs like DNxHR/DNxHD and prores to a lesser extent is severe noise on some types of patterns like small checkers. It's not subsampling related (4:4:4 is affected too). Official Avid and ffmpeg implementations are affected. I've reproduced it on other patterns, other colors, other grid sizes. You can see some of the disussion here starting around post 672 . x264 (also dct based) , cineform (wavelet based) are unaffected
