So, I'm considering the possibility of doing Hi10p releases of anything I do from now on in addition to the normal 8-bit H.264 releases. In case you don't know what Hi10p is, basically it allows for better video quality at a smaller filesize. For more detailed info, read the following articles:

Basically, what I want to know is how many of you can play 10-bit video without problems. To play 10-bit video, one of the following is recommended:
CCCP
CoreAVC 3.0.1
MPlayer(2)
MadVR
LAV Video
VLC 2.0
Since I'm not expecting people to just happen to know if their system plays 10-bit video right or not, I encoded a sample clip in Hi10p, in both HD and SD. Please tell me in the comments of this post if you can play both/one/none of them along with your computer specs. This should help me figure out if there'd be interest in 10-bit releases or not. Do note that I don't plan on ONLY having 10-bit releases, at least for now. Even if you can't play 10-bit files, you won't be "locked out."
This sample clip is the next episode preview that was in the remaster of Detective Conan episode 130. It has no subtitles (since it's just a test video, there would be no point).
I would appreciate if as many people as possible replied. Thank you.
Told you guys the next release was coming up quick. I wasn't originally planning on doing this case, but the opportunity arose and... yeah. Have an awesome remaster of an awesome case. And no Belmonts, paikarus or 'apotoxins.'
