Sorry for my previous post. How do I play these releases on a Debian based system? I tried finding a converter but all results came up as either it not being possible, or they didn’t work.

    Okay you got me thinking about this a bit, my own hardware is not DV capable so typically I just avoid media that is DV only. But for experimentation I tested a few media players on Windows

    • Jellyfin
    • Kodi
    • MPC-BE
    • MPC-HE
    • MPV
    • Potplayer
    • VLC

    Interestingly with default settings none of them will playback DV with tonemapping (no HDR, just DV only aka DV Profile 5).

    I did figure out additional settings for one of the media players, MPV will do DV tonemapping if you add “–vo=gpu-next” to the command line on startup e.g.

    mpv --vo=gpu-next yourmediafile.mkv
    

    No idea on any of the other media players, there weren’t any obvious settings to enable for DV tonemapping.

    I think the purple/green tinge is caused by Dolby Vision HDR, not Atmos. Atmos is some kind of surround-sound standard.

    There’s a different HDR standard that causes washed out colors (again, I think).

    I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.

          I understood hardware equipment too. What kind of equipment did you mean?

            I’m telling you that “I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.”

            I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.

            I don’t know

            I was kind of hoping someone else had an answer, but now I’m kind of hoping they don’t. Out of spite.
