does anyone know if DV oriented tonemapping is in development? (i.e. DV to HDR10 or DV to SDR). so DV files can play on non DV screens and look correct.


Jellyfin has DV to SDR in the latest release (https://jellyfin.org/posts/jellyfin-10-8-0/). I think it's in their own ffmpeg branch and not yet upstream.


Dolby Vision is a proprietary format. So unless Dolby develops something (highly doubtful) then it's unlikely anything will be developed. It would be incredibly complex, and almost certainly lead to legal action from Dolby.


Mpv already supports dolby vision


Yes, but that support is limited to playback. All it does is pass the Dolby Vision metadata to the output, which means you need a Dolby Vision display to actually use it.


Nope. You don’t need a DV compatible display with the latest MPV. Their latest gpu-next renderer can tonemap DV to SDR or HDR so as you can watch it on an old display.


DV is an additional metadata layer on top of HDR-10 PQ. If you play it back on a non Dolby Vision device it will just play back the same as a HDR-10 file would do. No tonemapping is required.


DV in blurays (dual layer). Not in streaming media where its in a different colorspace than hdr10.
