Plans for support for HDR videos or 10bit content.

🚀 The feature

Does the current version handle 10/10+ bit depth videos such as HDR?

Motivation, pitch

Hi @shreshthsaini , the short answer for input support is: as long as FFmpeg supports it, then TorchCodec should support it too. Feel free to try it and let us know if you encounter any issue?

I agree with @shreshthsaini that there seems to be no abstraction around the image tensor type when i search on uint8:

Ex:

# :class:`~torchcodec.decoders.VideoDecoder`. Frames are always of
# ``torch.uint8`` dtype.

Making it not clear if you will support 10/10+ bit depth video :S

From #598 it looks like the answer to the original question is: yes for CPU, not yet for GPU. We'll try to fix this for GPU. Meanwhile, I'll close this issue and we can track the progress in #598
