HDR encoding
===================
## HDR10
All encoders that support 10-bit encoding are also capable of HDR10 encoding. The follow encoders support higher than 8-bit.
| Encoder |
|---------------------|
| x264 |
| x265 |
| SVT-AV1 |
| VP9 |
| NVIDIA NVEnc |
| AMD VCN |
| Intel QuickSync |
| Apple VideoToolbox |
HandBrake will automatically passthru mastering display metadata and content light metadata from the source video to to final encode. For x265 encodings, HandBrake will also set the hdr-opt flag for you.
### Limitations
HDR10 metadata will be written only in the container and not in the bitstream when using NVIDIA NVEnc or AMD VCN.
## HDR10+
The following 10-bit encoders support HDR10+ Dynamic metadata:
| Encoder |
|---------------------|
| x265 |
| SVT-AV1 |
| Apple VideoToolbox HEVC |
## Dolby Vision
Dolby Vision is supported when using the following 10-bit encoders:
| Encoder |
|---------------------|
| x265 |
| SVT-AV1 |
| Apple VideoToolbox HEVC |
The supported Dolby Vision profiles and cross compatibility IDs are:
- 5.0
- 7.6 (base layer only, converted to 8.1)
- 8.1
- 8.4
When using an AV1 encoder, profile will be set to 10 for every cross compatibility ID, per Dolby Vision specifications.
