Dolby Atmos is able to be played on a wide range of modern device. Android-based phones can do it. Cheaper TVs can, and cheap soundbars give a satisfying experience. You can listen to Atmos content on headphones

I mean, this is c/piracy, you can pretty easily go download a non-HDR version of everything. If you do want HDR just not DV, most decent DV encodes also have a HDR10 fallback which should kick in if your device doesn't support DV.

Alternatively, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of tools out there like DoVi Tool that can help you convert the HDR metadata to HDR10/10+ if that's what you want.

It works just fine on a Shield Pro from 6 years ago. How old is your rig?

It should play in VLC or MPV, but HDR looks like crap on a regular monitor. Even after tone mapping, it will never look as good as something filmed in SDR.

I just got a $200 TLC TV that supports Dolby vision.

Did you mean to say Dolby Vision?

Ive never cared enough about spatial audio outside of video games so i just convert everything to AAC with tdarr.

Then you should phrase your question better, because Atmos is audio. Vision is HDR.

Well whatever it is i convert all my downloads these days to be AV1 with AAC video because i prefer open standards.

Wait there's an AAC video? That's cool.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No, there isn't aac video . Your post mixed up, You are confusing audio and video codec and don't give any details for people to help you out. Instead of ranting, ask for help with details (we are not on Reddit)

Sorry, i meant AV1 video with AAC audio.
