Hi there,

as far as I understand it is now possible to encode HDR videos. However the HDR metadata isn't getting through while using nvidia HEVC encoding.
Would it be possible to update SVP transcoder to get to use NVEncC instead instead of ffmpeg, as NVEncC handles passthrough of HDR10 metadata
Software encoding takes ages, so I really would like to make it work through nvidia hw encoding

Otherwise this is a great piece of software : 4K HDR plays OK now with most players (mpv/vlc and directshow players), please keep doing a great job!

Regards,
Damien

You're right, NVEncC supports passthrough of HDR10 metadata, which ffmpeg currently lacks when using Nvidia HEVC encoding. Switching to NVEncC in SVP transcoder would indeed be beneficial for preserving HDR metadata during the encoding process.
