How to watch 10-bit Encoded Files

Hey guys,
Some of the source files were encoded using 10-bit x264 (We used 8-bit before). So if you think that the video is displayed incorrectly (blurry, wrong colors, patchy, etc.)
We recommend the newest CCCP Codec Pack, you can download it from here:
http://www.cccp-project.net
After you install the latest version, there shouldn’t be any problem and you can watch 10-bit encodes correctly!
If you like K-Lite Codec Pack better, it also supports 10-bit from version 7.5.6+ :

After you’ve installed one of these codecs and you still have problems, you should check your settings in Media Player Classic. The easiest way that when you playback a video, right click on it -> Filters -> if you see the internal “MPC Video Decoder” here, you need to disable it; (View -> Options -> Internal Filters -> uncheck “H264/AVC“).
Or you can try out PotPlayer, which is also a nice video player:

I’m watching mini anime on my tv, using wdtv h/w media player. No support for hi10 codec.
So the only option for me is to convert hi10 back to 8-bit using handbrake or xvid4psp.
You could also use the latest version of VLC media player. It has been support 10-bit ecnodes since version 2.0, and you don’t have to install any other codecs. Download it via their main page – http://www.videolan.org/
