this is very embracing because even with the lastest version we cannot have dolby vision support

Dolby Vision is not an universally supported feature on entry level HDR TV as I know it requies an license from Dolby and vendors have to pay the license fee periodically to Dolby as well in addition to BOM cost.
And, the price of a HDR TV, which supports the Dolby Vision, is at relatively higher price level.
It is not a friendly option for movie fans when setup their home theater.

Let's imagine that if powerdvd increases its price 30% or more for this feature, would you like to pay more for Dolby Vision?

Lots of HDR devices do not have this feature because it has extra license fees, and whether they can support it depending on Dolby's authorization plan.

It's awesome you have a Dolby Vision supported display (a high-end HDR TV probably), but it is very likely that the HDR TVs most of users have might not support Dolby Vision, and they don't truly realize what the visual difference are between HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
Last but not the least, the true 10-bit panel (for large size TVs), which is capable to present the ultimate quality of HDR, is not that common, 12-bit panel is still an experimental thing on the market.


Here is my thought, fyr.
