10 bit AVC
Hey there,
is it possible to add 10 bit AVC support to JW Player? If I encode my videos with x264 10 bit, they are even more high quality, but currently JW Player makes everything green for 10 bit AVC files...
Sincerely,
Maxbit

Best AnswerJW Player doesn't actually play the video. It's just a steering script. If the browser offers native HTML5 video support, it uses a <video> tag to display the video. If not, it invokes the Flash player. The player provides its own additional capabilities - controls, playlists, adverts, and so on - but it's not really doing the video display itself.

Points to Neutron on this. :) Yes, we rely on a browser’s handling of video. If a browser can’t handle HTML5 video (For example, Firefox on OSX) we fall back to Flash for this reason.

You didn't get my question. My browser does fully support HTML5 videos and stuff. 10 bit encodes are different to 8 bit encodes. I'm not talking about browsers and stuff, I'm talking about a different file format (H.264 10 bit)

You didn't get the answer. JW Player is just handing off the video to the browser's native HTML5 ability. JW Player doesn't "play" the video at all. If the browser's <video> tag can't handle H.264 10 bit, there's nothing JW Player can do about it.
