Re: What is the color depth level of the DVD format?


Not so far as I can tell! With three-channel sampling (R,G,B or Y,R-Y,B-Y), and 8 bits per sample, the maximum bit depth per pixel is 24. Unless and until someone decides to use 10 or 12 bits per sample, or an alpha channel (and how many displays will ever accept that?), it's going to remain irrelevant ; and I doubt any home video playback format will take that step.
