Yes, it can, when using x265 10-bit.

HDR10 is supported on almost every encoder since two years ago.
HDR10+ on svt-av1 and x265 10-bit, and Dolby Vision on x265 10-bit, but only in the snapshots until the next major release.

Thanks! What does it mean "but only in the snapshots" ?

Re: HDR information

Post by melvinardan »

Handbrake has the ability to include HDR (High Dynamic Range) information when encoding MP4 from MKV, but it depends on several factors such as the source material, the settings used in Handbrake, and the capabilities of the target playback device.

When encoding a video with Handbrake, you can specify the output video format and configure the encoding settings. To ensure that HDR information is preserved, you should select an output format that supports HDR, such as HEVC (H.265) with 10-bit or 12-bit color depth. You should also make sure that the "Color Space" and "Color Range" options in Handbrake are set correctly to match the source material.

In addition, the target playback device must support HDR playback in order to display the HDR information properly. If the device does not support HDR, the video may appear washed out or have incorrect colors.

It's worth noting that Handbrake is an open-source tool, and there are many different versions and forks available. The behavior of a specific version of Handbrake may differ from other versions or forks. If you have specific concerns about HDR encoding with Handbrake, you should consult the documentation or user community for the specific version or fork that you are using.

Thanks!

I am using the 1.6.1 version of Handbrake that I just downloaded from Handrake.fr.

My 4K equipment includes a Denon 6400 receiver and an LG OLED 4K display. I believe the equipment supports most 4K HDR content.

My test case has been the 4K release of the Dark Knight on 4K Blu-Ray, which took about 1.5 hours to produce an MKV file, and the result looks and sounds identical to the source.

I am interested in using the material on devices that do not support MKV in the highest quality I can produce, but which do support MP4 and also seem to support HDR.

So far, it has taken more than a day to convert the MKV to MP4, which is not practical for an archivist like myself.

This is the reason for my question about HDR.

If you just want to swap containers, use mp4box or Subler.
