way to convert hdr10+ to dv on the fly? - NickF - 2021-11-30
i plan to buy a new tv, a big one with 80 or more inch for watching movies.
some big screens over 80 inch have hdr10+ features, other have dolby vision features, but no one over 80 inch have both features.
(
hdr(hdr10) 10 bit colorspace, static meta
hdr10+ 10 bit colorspace, dynamic meta
dolby vision 12 bit colorspace, dynamic meta
)
(no one need 12 bit colorspace at the moment, no display can show it.)
my player is a computer with hdmi 2.1 output and kodi.
is there a way with kodi to play a hdr10+ (.mkv) video as a dolby vision video?
(convert the hdr10+ video on the fly to a dolby vision video)
or the other way, dolby vision video convert on the fly to a hdr10+ video?
if this possible, so i must not watch out for a new tv they have both features, hdr10+ and dolby vision.

Just stick with Dolby Vision as it's more widely available on TV's and supported content.

I guess Samsung promotes HDR 10+ since they won't do Dolby Vision. IIRC the "12 bit" of DV is how they are able to encode the dynamic metadata with existing HEVC and HDMI 2.0b codec/protocol. But you need a dolby license and I don't know of a way to create a DV stream without one. (HDR 10+ uses new data frames in HEVC and that data is passed in HDMI 2.1. Not sure how VP9 or AV1 handle it.) Going the other way I guess you can get an HDR stream out of DV, but I don't know of a way to get the dynamic data.
