Help playing a video file

[uzumaki]

I am trying to watch an anime movie on the boxee box. The video information is below. The audio seems to play fine, but the screen is black and stutters (no picture at all). Is there any way I can view this or convert it some way to be viewable on the BB? My TV is only 720p and the file is 1080p, but I assume that shouldn't matter? Any Berserk fans out there?

Bit depth : 10 bits

Unfortunately the Box can't support playback of 10-bit video, it's a hardware limitation of the chip and can't be addressed through firmware.

Hardware-based players like Boxee don't support Hi10 (10bit) video.

You will need to convert that file to 8-bit (the published *and* defacto standard) h.264 - If you google for it you'll find a very easy tutorial.

Excellent, thanks guys. Mods can close this, I can't figure out how.
