Still need to keep separate versions of movies?

Hello all!

It's been exactly 1 year since my last post and I was wondering if things have changed when it comes to transcoding HDR 4K movies. A year ago, it was best to keep an SDR version of a movie for sharing with friends who might not have an HDR set at home; and a separate HDR version for those that did have a HDR capable TV, due to how HDR transcoded movies were not handled properly.

It's very tedious to say the least, to maintain 2 separate libraries, one for SDR and one for HDR.

So, is it safe now for non-HDR viewers to be able to pick an HDR movie and be able to watch it correctly after being transcoded?

 

Thanks in advance and I hope everyone has been keeping safe for the past year!

Follow along here.  But you should be set in the next release.  But only you can make that decision, is tonemapping good enough.
