Perhaps it could be possible to convert RPU DoVi file to HDR10+ metadata file ?! I don't know the structure of each file but I can look at it if I have some examples.
That's what I asked earlier in the x265 thread. As UHD Blu-ray discs generally have the base layer and the enhancement layer, it should be possible to re-encode the base layer to a lower bitrate and mux the two layers to mp4 with ffmpeg. In the (near?) future, maybe it's possible to create Matroska files as well as MakeMKV already does that itself.
I haven't tested that myself yet, but will do at some point. My TV supports DoVi, but the media player doesn't so I cannot use those encodes directly in my library.
