Hi10p what? The hi444pp test!

As many of you know, hi10p has been receiving a lot of buzz recently. Unfortunately that is not the end of the line.

There is also something called hi444pp (complete listing of all the profiles can be found here) which is, as the name might suggest, a higher "version" than the hi10p. What does that mean for you?
  • The filesize is alot smaller. we should be able to archieve flawless video in 50MB of size (yeah, you read that correctly)
  • It might put a little more load on the computer than usually.
As with many groups, we also have been thinking of moving away from the good old 8bit and welcome the new 10bit area (hi444pp can actually be up to "14bit" but that's another story).

Before we will make the complete move, we need to know if it works. And that's what this post is here for.

After the jump, I will post a screenshot on the cpu load that a hi444pp video has on a computer as well as a slight overview on the specs on the computer it was played on.

If you would like to participate on the test, download this (if you are getting an error, refresh), keep taskmanager open and play the file.

Tests, after the fold.

  2. Since I have nothing better to do I took the test and I can see it, I'm using this: Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-BETA-2011-07-15, just in case it helps, and a thing called Haali Media Splitter.

  6. Plays OK in VLC 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 12.04, something on the order of 50% of one core on AMD X6 1090T @ 3.2 GHz.
