10-bit to 8-bit Converting

Have you ever encountered a problem where after muxing your episodes you get a greenscreen on sony vegas like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]???

NOT ANYMORE(This sounds like telemarketing advertisements but whatever xD)

If you are getting this problem, it is probably because your source is a 10bit file. Vegas does not recognise 10bit encoding, thus the (annoying)green screen. You can check if it's a 10bit or an 8bit file by downloading Mediainfo, right click on the file and look for "Bit Depth".

Thus in order to work on vegas you need to convert it to 8bit files first. You can do that by downloading this zip file, extract it, move the 10bit mkv file you want to encode into the same folder and last click and drag the 10bit file onto encode.bat.

Spoiler:

After the encoding finishes a file with the same name as the original is generated except it has a .8bit.mkv in the end. Now your file is ready and you can do the classic encoding/muxing process for the file.


If you feel like you lost some quality after 10bit to 8bit converting, you can try editing the encode.bat file with notepad and change the number "crf 18" to "crf 16" and change the preset to fast. You can play with them but always remember the default settings(I personally keep them in a txt file )

At last you can have fun editing...GREAT SUCCESS!!!

FABULOUS!!! Arigato gozaimasu!!

lol just when i needed this

I've encountered this problem so many times, hopefully it works next time I come across it. good job stavros

tried it
although it solves the video problem, when encoded, the new file has no audio

I love you Stavros! You too pampouks for teaching the 2nd part of the combo. I was worried since most of the footage I prepared for the IC were 10bit. but I solved it now :D Thanks!

you can always keep the extracted audio/track as is, i think vegas allows to import .ac3 footage

3GB conversion with 1080p i guess????

Should it be strange?All these movies are in 10bit,find us something viable noob.

"Congratulations you have a something in 8bit with quality loss due to reencoding and the file size is most likely larger to boot. Now ask yourself why the hell you wanted it again."

NYEEES

What do you suggest btw, first convert the original mkv episode/movie to 8-bit and then convert that to mp4 or vice versa?

i asked the same thing 1 week ago

P.S. be careful coz converting to 8-bit takes a hell of a lot of time!

Yes, noticed that, I will use it only for 720 episodes, for movies it is clearly impossible.
