Hi Rudolf L,
Does this happen only with Guardians of the Galaxy?
Please reinstall PDVD without keeping the personal settings.
Greetings,
Hicham
Hi,
No, with all HDR 4k mkv files.
However, there’s good news; after PDVD’s yesterday patch and a Nvidia new driver for my Geforce 1050 all is well now...

Good say QC2.0 "nothing is truly/purely free". To play HDR I think you need to update your PDVD17.
I have the latest updated version

It's a bloody shame that an expensive product lake PDVD17 doesn't play HDR (BT2020) content while Windows 10 (creators update) native and FREE Movies & Tv does the job very well
Movies & TV is the native player that Microsoft planted in Windows, I think it might have the BEST compatiblity on Windows PC than any other software player. (Yep, it may be lack of full video format support versus other open source players, because it does not invest that much on FULL video format codec so far.)
HDR specification for PDVD17, and the FAQ for your reference:

By the way, nothing is truly/purely free.
What do you mean by: “Lack of full video format support versus other open source players” ? So far it plays anything I throw at it.
From the links you provided, I conclude that the only way to play HDR content is through a PDVD emulation, which never delivers the result the makers of the film intended.
I should’ve been more clear in my original post, probably. With “does not play” I actually meant that with every BT2020 encoded film, PDVD starts full screen, crashes, then rebounds with a window where it plays the film in a horrible greyish SDR image.

I have Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 as an h265 mkv on my HD. PDVD17 can't play it, screen flickers, sound on and of etc.
Windows TV & Movies plays it flawlessly
