Why is HEVC off by default when HEVC 10-bit is on?

[_Nick]

Hi,

As title says:

Under Playback > Transcoding, when changing hardware encoding from  none  to  NVENC :
   

I noticed that the defaults (already checked) include  HEVC 10-bit  but not just  HEVC  as display on the screenshot below.HEVC 10bit HEVC HEVC 10bit10bitHEVC 10bit
   

Is there any reason why  HEVC 10-bit  is checked by default but not just  HEVC ?



Thanks,

Nick.

I'm a stickler for defaults and minimalism unless an official recommendation suggests otherwise. This always minimises troubleshooting and future issues.

My understanding is that the default settings don't mean much.
You need to consult with Nvidia's developer page and enable the decode/encode codecs that your GPU supports.
