8 bit or 10 bit footage how to know.

[RikZak]

How can you tell if the footage you are working with is 8 bit or 10 bit?

My personal preference is MediaInfo tool

I don't see in this an id for 8 bit color or 10 bit color in it. Am I missing something?

Switch view from Basic to one of these: Text/Tree/Html

Thank you!

Hello. Don't mind me reviving this question.

I'm using the MediaInfo tool, but in HTML nor Text it doesn't mention the bitrate.
