All you need to know about RTD1619BPD and RTD1619DR based players

Could anyone explain me why
hevc main10@L5 yuv420 10bits bt2020 is perfectly played on z1000pro but
avc high10@L4.1 cabac yuv420 10bits is absolutely not?

 

The SOC doesn't support 10-bit AVC.

 

oh... How could this be? Uptodate chip, uptodate player ... doesn't support old codec?
Top alpha has the same SOC...
What a frustration...

 

It's not an old codec, 10-bit AVC is a non standard implementation of a current codec.

Standard commercial AVC/h.264 is an 8-bit codec which of course is supported.

 

try ZDMC (a Kodi fork) for your 10bit AVC files, as it can use the Kodi software player for old (like some .avi's) and non-standard codecs that are not Zidoo hardware supported.

 

Most avi’s that are difficult to play generally have ‘packed bit streams’ and can be easily fixed with mpeg4modifier, takes a few seconds.

 

but if the stream has 10bit color information i doubt the mpeg4modifier could fix the issue

 

thanks alot
the last version is 20.1 , correct?

 

All depends on the codec.

The wrapper - AVI, MKV, MP4 etc doesn't really matter - it's the codec underneath that's important.

 

i surely doesn't know much about the stuff but 10bit AVC appeared more than 5 years ago...
and many PC players easily decode it

 

i mean the version of kodi.apk, the last one is 20.1

 

Still non standard and isn't supported so it ain't gonna play!

 

Sorry - quoted the wrong post. Fixed now.

 

the latest mpeg4modifier is 1.4.6 (January 11, 2015). issued way too long before first 10bit AVC.

MPEG4 Modifier modifies a MPEG-4 ASP video (AVI with XviD, DivX) without re-encoding (change aspect ratio, edit userdata, remove or add packed bitstream, and change interlaced field order). It can also show information about the video such as the amount of I/P/S/B-VOPs used, whether or not QPel/GMC were used, etc. Requires .NET Framework 2.0.

doesn't sound like it could help

 

No, the only way to fix 10-bit AVC is to re-encode to 8-bit AVC or 10-bit HEVC.

 

well... the zidoo company may decide what to support , of course. but to add the support of 10bit AVC isn't big trouble and hard task, i suggest.
do remember early 90s - european manufactured utems were quite selective while chinese ones were unversal all readers with no exceptions

 

that's what i'am pondering . could you advise by what means?
i has virtualdub. so i need some codec to install ?

[searched videohelp.com for an answere and discovered 10bit AVC is 14 years old at least...]

v20.2 is the latest release:

Age has nothing to do with it, it's a non standard format and the SOC simply does not support it.

I use Staxrip for encoding. Something like Handbrake might be easier.
