amax/ymax.. are valid as described in documentation, that way you do get
working filter example for both 8bit and 10bit video.

You do not change example in any way, why you removed ' chars?

' is important because it says to escape ","


Damn, sorry. I think I initially copy pasted the example as is from the
documentation and I got the same error. Then I switched the single quotes
to double quotes to see if that would make a difference. I can't test again
until tomorrow, but thanks for clarifying.
