Hi all, I have been using FFmpeg for a while now, but I am quite new to the mailing lists, and I accidently chose the wrong one for mailing (Trac). Sorry about that. Anyway, one thing I noticed is the lack of a Dolby Vision decoder in libavcodec.
Dolby Vision is a 12-bit HDR dual layer codec that has a 10-bit base layer of either HEVC or AVC, and then an enhancement layer that supplies an extra 2-bits and dynamic HDR metadata. The result can be played on Dolby Vision compatible TVs. Would it be possible to implement a decoder for Dolby Vision in libavcodec and register it using the AVCodec struct? I think it would be nice to see that, as I know that FFmpeg can decode HDR10, which is another HDR video format that uses HEVC (except that it is 10-bit, not 12.). Eventually we will see Ultra-HD Blu-ray discs with Dolby Vision encoded video, so it would be really useful for a decoder to be implemented.
