"Worksheet","Record bit depth and chroma when checking codec compatibility","Evidence status","Your configuration"
"Purpose","A codec name is only part of a compatibility record. Include bit depth, chroma subsampling, dimensions, frame rate, container and the actual application/hardware path.","Proposed workflow",""
"Check","Question to record","Decision","Your observation"
"Import","Application accepts the stream","Basic support",""
"Decode/playback","Actual timeline route","Responsiveness question",""
"Encode","Required output profile","Separate delivery capability",""
"Example","A hypothetical system decodes an 8-bit 4:2:0 file smoothly but struggles with a 10-bit 4:2:2 recording bearing the same codec family name. The difference is a reason to inspect the documented path, not proof that every file in that codec is unsuitable.","Illustrative; not a measured product result",""
