x264 rev2074+602 patched build [ win, x86 & x64, tMod (& tMod+10bit/MixAQ/OreAQ), hacked bit depth conversion/dithering ]

——– Attention on high bit depth usage ——–

Several days before madshi pointed out that x264’s internal low bit depth to high bit depth conversion and high bit depth to low bit depth dithering is incorrect. The present converting and dithering algorithms seem to work correctly on full range sources of RGB and Y plane of YUV. Till now neither x264 nor swscale has a correct chroma upscaling algorithm for full range sources, and I didn’t make one. Anyway, the converting algorithm of x264 is absolutely wrong on limited range sources, according to ITU-R 601/709’s standard, in which the conversion should be done by simply appending LSBs of zero to the source. The dithering algorithm may also causes overflow on limited range source. So I hacked on my tMod builds to solve this issue.

When the input and output bit depth are the same, no conversion or dithering will be apllied. Otherwise when used with “–fullrange on”, the conversion and dithering will be exactly the same with x264’s original algorithm, which is still not reliable for YUV sources, so it is recommanded to use your own reliable approaches to convert those sources by yourself before passing them to my x264 builds; if used without “–fullrange on”, the conversion will be done by shifting according to the standard, and the dithering algorithm is fixed as well, so that the result should be absolutely right.

x264 rev2059+600 patched build [ win, x86 & x64, tMod & tMod+10bit/MixAQ/OreAQ), hacked bit depth conversion/dithering ]

Updating from 2057 to 2059 has nothing to do with performance or stability. They only fix wrong help info and add new configure parameters for compiling.

Several days before madshi pointed out that x264’s internal low bit depth to high bit depth conversion and high bit depth to low bit depth dithering is incorrect. The present converting and dithering algorithms seem to work correctly on full range sources ( or not, I haven’t find any documents on the full range conversion ). But the converting algorithm is absolutely wrong on limited range sources, according to ITU-R 601/709’s standard, in which the conversion should be done by simply appending LSBs of zero to the source.

x264 rev2044+598 patched build [ win, x86 & x64, tMod & tMod+10bit/MixAQ/OreAQ) ]

Remove  automatically level patch, which does the same thing as force-level patch. Add skip bit depth filter to let x264 skip bit depth conversion when the input and output bit depth are same, e.g. 10bit input to 10-bit x264.
