Converting to 10bit or 12bit video

[magnu]

Hi there
When I create 10bit and 12bit MKVs (h264 as well as h265) the result is usually darker than the original and in many cases just a bit too dark. Is there any reason this happens and is there a way to fix this?

Following on from this question and after doing a bit of reading on the subject the best way to view these videos is on TVs, monitors, etc., with HDR. So really, if I want to convert to these formats & still be able to appreciate them I think it's best to stick to videos where the original quality isn't too dark too begin with.
