: The video resolution, measuring 1920x1080 pixels (Full High Definition).

: The inclusion of EAC3 audio with presumably 7.1 channels ensures that the audio experience is as immersive as the video. This is particularly beneficial for movies or content where sound placement and quality are crucial.

Preferred by Windows power users for precise color rendering. IINA: Optimized for modern macOS systems. Hardware Acceleration

: Standard video uses 8-bit depth (16.7 million colors). By upgrading to 10-bit depth, the file has access to 1.07 billion colors . This extra data smooths out transitions between dark grays and deep blacks in Mr. Reed’s basement, preserving the precise, eerie visuals intended by the filmmakers.

Standard Blu-ray discs utilize an 8-bit color depth, which offers 256 shades per color channel (Red, Green, Blue). An encode labeled "10bit" bumps this up to 1,024 shades per channel. Even though the source material might be 8-bit, encoding in 10-bit HEVC prevents "color banding"—those ugly, pixelated gradients often seen in dark rooms, shadows, and foggy scenes. 4.
