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.
