[for windows add .exe to ffmpeg and x265, ffmpeg.exe x265.exe]
(i do not have windows to test these, i replaced it with debian linux)
8bit input--\/
Code:
ffmpeg -i "input.file" -f yuv4mpegpipe - | x265 --y4m - -o "outputfile.265"
10bit input--\/
Code:
ffmpeg -i "input.file" -f yuv4mpegpipe -strict -1 - | x265 --y4m - -o "outputfile.265"
(use -strict -1 or else y4m will want to interpret the input as 8-bit 420)
12bit input--\/
Code:
ffmpeg -i "input.file" -f -pix_fmt yuv420p12le yuv4mpegpipe -strict -1 - | x265 --y4m - -o "outputfile.265"
ffmpeg can automatically detect pixel format from input file. so -pix_fmt "pixel format (yuv420p etc)" input option isn't needed unless input is rawvideo... but if needed use -pix_fmt with a choosen pixel format from below...
other inputs/pix_fmt--\/
yuv420p yuvj420p yuv422p yuvj422p yuv444p yuvj444p gbrp yuv420p10le yuv422p10le yuv444p10le gbrp10le yuv420p12le yuv422p12le yuv444p12le gbrp12le gray gray10le gray12le
(use with -strict 1 to force/allow choosen pix_fmt)

-
for a list of x265 {not ffmpeg} supported pixel formats use command below
Code:
ffmpeg -h encoder=libx265 2>/dev/null | grep pixel
{for ffmpeg see selurs post}

In some scenarios you will need to change the format before piping (-pix_fmt) |
