Your remaining questions were answered in a reply to your post at the forum you cited.

Yes they were answered there by some kind soul.

In regard to tonemap like in here https://github.com/ifb/vapoursynth-tonemap and "DG software", what I meant to wonder was would it be faster in a CUDA accelerated sense or does it seem trivial in terms of cpu cost and thus not worth it as new cuda plugin ?

I wondered because tonemapped hdr -> sdr seems reasonably likely to be a handy thing into the mid term future. As may be AV1 support I guess although that'd seem to be problematic and depend on the users' cards and nvidia's software.

That's an interesting idea, hydra3333. I'll look into it. Thanks.

I'm starting a new thread about this.

If you have an application that accepts 16 bit you can omit the convertbits call. Or you can change it to convertbits(10) if your application accepts 10 bit.

x265 accepts both 16 and 10 bit input but it is still not clear to me which would have better results finally in case of HDR input:

1. by using ConvertBits(10) and feeding x265 with 10-bit input or
2. by omitting the call and feeding x265 with 16-bit input.

Output depth in x265 is set to 10-bit.

Thank you very much for any kind of help.

The results will be the same. There is no information (all zeros) in the lower 6 bits when delivering 10-bit content as YUV420P16.

Thanks!

You are most welcome and thank you for your contributions over the years.
