A quick feedback of my hdr experience with powerdvd 17.
I have a GTX1080 with a skylake CPU (so not a kabylake) and I'm running Win10 1607 (Anniversary Update). FYI Shadow Warrior 2 and RE7 are working well in 2160p hdr.
I tested hdr demo from http://demo-uhd3d.com/ and mkv files from various origin.
Both Sony demos are working fine in HDR:
- Sony_BRAVIA_OLED_HDR.mp4
- Sony_4K_HDR_Camp.mp4
With most others demos, like LG_Cymatic_Jazz_HLG_Astra_teststream.ts, powerdvd is crashing.
Regarding mkv files, no crash, but only few are switching in hdr mode, most of them are displayed in sdr. I checked metadata with MediaInfo Tool, all mkv are in 10bits depth so it is still a mystery for me.
I’ve noticed some differences in HEVC format profile, not sure it's revelant.
Edit: according to this article https://ngcodec.com/news/2015/11/16/fpgas-are-best-for-encoding-high-dynamic-range-hdr-content-with-hevch265 there are multiple metadata requirement for hdr.
These are missing with my mkv files:
- Color container/primaries: BT.2020
- Transfer function (OETF/EOTF): SMPTE ST 2084
