In AME (CS 6) I increased Profile to "Highest" and Level to 5.1, maximum bit-rate and still only get "millions" of colors, which indicates 8-bit, right?

If you look in AME, you can get some pretty high bit rates by choosing the highest numbered "Profile" and "Level" settings.

There's also a Maximum Bit-Depth check box.

I'm searching for a clarity . . .

A client is asking for "H264 with the highest settings, 8bit uncompressed." H264 is, by definition compressed, correct? And though there are in theory, versions of H264 that are 10 bit, the garden variety H264 (created in, for example, Quicktime) is 8 bit.  So the only part of this request that makes sense is "highest settings," right?

Any insights greatly appreciated.
