Topic: SVP can't display the right color of UHD videos

I have tried UHD Planet Earth 2, and its video part contains the features of HDR and BT.2020 color primary.

To display the right color, MadVR video renderer is chosen in MPC-HC.

I have found that if SVP is off, the color is right, but when SVP is on (or actually ffdshow raw filter is on as an external filter, even if SVP manager is off), the color is absolutely wrong (whiter and dull).

It seems that ffdshow filter doesn't support the new video features used by UHD.

Is there any way to have SVP support UHD features?

Not sure about HDR but you need to use MPV or VLC for 10bit video. ffdshow doesn't support 10bit with avisynth.

MPV with vapoursynth support would be a good place to start.

With SVP you also need to set allow_10bit = true (false is default which is YUV 4:2:0, 8bit output)

SVP menu -> Application settings -> Additional options -> Allow output in 10 bit color depth

plus mpv options:
--target-brightness
--hdr-tone-mapping
--tone-mapping-param

Or  better yet, check the 10 bit option in SVP and use the MPC-QT build from the sticky post. It has a whole bunch of HDR/color space settings.
