DCE 6.x doesn't support 10-bit truncation and 10-bit dithering
because the following fields are 1-bit only:
FMT_TEMPORAL_DITHER_DEPTH
FMT_SPATIAL_DITHER_DEPTH
FMT_TRUNCATE_DEPTH
Programming these fields to "2" will program them as if the
dithering option was 6-bit, resulting in sub-par picture
quality and an ugly "color banding" effect.
Note that a recent commit changed the default 10-bit dithering
option to DITHER_OPTION_SPATIAL10 which improves the picture
quality because it happens to look better, but is still not
actually supported by DCE 6.x versions.
When the color depth is 10-bit or more, just disable
any kind of dithering options on DCE 6.x.
