12bit HEVC works with minimal changes if we process all filters using downsampled

. However, it's important to note that Intel Macs never had hardware support for 12-bit processing, so they will always fall back on software decoding. Even on M1 series, hardware acceleration for 12-bit is incomplete and likely uses hybrid decoding. This is evident by the higher CPU usage compared to 10-bit 4:4:4 inputs, though the M1 still achieves better framerates with lower CPU usage than FFmpeg's native software decoder when decoding 4K HDR 12-bit 4:4:4 inputs.Issues
