Dolby Vision on PC. Technically impossible or a matter of time?
Time and again we have seen the rise of "undefeatable" copy protection schemes only to have them defeated.
Now, for Dolby Vision currently only products that have Dolby's license can playback stuff. And no current PC GPU has that. From the bottom of my ignorance I am wondering if the hardware is all in place for DV playback on PC and it's just a matter of understanding how to get around the DRM/Widevine/whatever thing or if there is a physical impossibility at work.

Both Dell and Lenovo offer laptop PC's that support Dolby Vision...

Requires licensed hardware on Windows.
Maybe the GPU APIs could be used somehow, since games support it..

Playback of Dolby Vision bluray on the device?

I am aware of that. But in the case of TV led DV, from what I understand, the player simply passes on info to the TV.
So my question might be: is it just a DRM thing or is there something else at play?

Depends, e.g. with profile 7 FEL UHD BD titles the player itself combines the 2 layers together not the TV even with TV-led (that's why it still works with CX/C1 that doesn't have dual DoVi decoder chip).

Wow, another choice to gimp the sets after 9 series? DTS wasn't enough?

Now that DV in mkv container is happening (with the two video streams inside), I am wondering if somebody could devise something that, I guess at video renderer level, tone maps HDR10 dynamically based on DV info in the extra stream. I can't believe the industry has finally devised a way to restrict HTPCs from having best quality. :-(

There is some movement to allow DoVi profile 5 and profile 8 to be played, and either tonemapped or converted to PQ/HDR10. Dual layer profile 7 (as found on Blu-ray) will require more work.
It's a start and allows playback of those profile 5 files in correct colors, as well as benefit from the profile 8 enhancements, as small as those actually are. Pass-through of DV data to the TV remains an open problem, as there are no hardware APIs to do that, or it's unknown how to do it otherwise.

This at video render level or codec level? Just curious. For now I'm glad for this update. :-) Edit: any link to discussions where these developments are being discussed, etc.?

FFmpeg recently gained the ability to export the DV RPU metadata.
The conversion step to HDR10 is still missing. But maybe nevcairiel has a nice Christmas present for us, and that appears in a future LAVFilters release.

Thanks for the extra info. Definitely something to look forward to, crossing fingers. :-)

Right now I have the following: My goal is to output SDR with BT.2020 as I am using a JVC projector (RS500). hdr-compute-peak = yes target-prim= bt.2020 target-trc= gamma2.4 target-peak=100 tone-mapping=mobius |

Tone mapping preference is highly subjective.
Currently this is my config: Code:
hdr-compute-peak=yes tone-mapping=bt.2390 tone-mapping-param=2.00 gamut-mapping-mode=clip My setup is a simple SDR display calibrated to 130 nits, however ICC profiles are somewhat broken with HDR at the moment.

Yes vo=gpu-next. Dolby Vision is mapped automatically, so it's not necessary to use the vf.

I don't think there's a way to detect it, the video has no useful VUI.
