HDR to SDR v3.1.0
What's new
Color depth
- 10-bit output — free for everyone. Choose 10-bit output per queue item; HEVC sources are preserved as HEVC output.
- 12-bit output — new Pro-only option (CPU encode only), selectable alongside 10-bit on a per-file basis.
H.265/HEVC Support
- Free for all users, as H.265 uses an mp4 container. Now H.265/HEVC encoded videos will not be encoded in H.264 and will instead be directly encoded back to H.265/HEVC.
Dolby Vision
- The app now detects Dolby Vision sources (via ffprobe's DOVI configuration record) and shows a "Dolby Vision" tag in the video info bar.
- Pro: full container-aware audio passthrough is preserved for DoVi sources.
- Free: DoVi sources downmix to 2-channel stereo AAC audio.
- Profile 5 (IPTPQc2) sources are automatically routed through libplacebo tonemapping — even with the GPU toggle off — since the standard zscale path renders a green/purple color cast on this profile.
GPU acceleration
- GPU tonemapping (libplacebo / Vulkan) is no longer a Pro-only feature — it's available to everyone.
Updates
- The in-app update dialog now includes a link to the release changelog alongside the download link.
Fixes
- Pro upgrade messaging now correctly mentions the 12-bit requirement.
