Blu-ray creator | HDR support

Does the Blu-ray creator support keeping HDR10 if the H265 MKV files added have it?

I'm using files that it detects as having HDR10 and MediaInfo also detects them as having HDR10.

However, after burning a few discs I see that the content has been converted back down to h264 and the HDR10 is gone along with most of the color. The content is basically greyscale.

I do realize that most people only associate HDR with 4k UHD, but it is very legitimate for 1080P 10 bit HEVC MKV containers to contain HDR metadata. It also appears legitimate for M2TS containers to contain HDR.

I'm not intimately familiar with how blu-ray discs are mastered, so I'm just confirming that I didn't miss a magic checkbox that would have the blu-ray creator master the disc without the HDR...but also without stripping out all of the color. The HDR metadata should be 'in addition to' the normal video and be able to be removed without impacting the original content.

PS: Wilson.Wang If I'm posting in the correct forum for DVDFab 13, can the available prefixes be updated so that I can select the 13.x product I'm using? It only lists the 12.x versions.

Did you try the Same as Source option? This option can keep the HDR10.

Thanks, Mona . I did use the Same as Source option as all of the source content was a total of about 21 Gb. I'll replicate this again with just one file and post the logs.

according to this - https://www.soundandvision.com/conte...-blu-ray-discs it's not possible

Thanks, october262. Indeed, it was my assumption that mastering the blu-ray was converting the files to a format that doesn't support HDR. Thanks for the confirmation.

Mona It is my opinion that DVDFab should recognize HDR content and remove it properly when creating a Blu-ray disc. If it can't, then don't allow burning discs with content that it can't support. Please take this to your developers and see what they think.

I'll do some more testing over the weekend. I'll try a show with DV and see if that is properly removed. I'll also try a separate show that comes from the same provider and has the same HDR10 format. I don't want to create any more coasters, so hopefully I can generate ISOs and duplicate/isolate the issue that way.
