Yeah. The behavior you are describing is exactly what happens for me with my DV7.6 content. You have a few of options to get this to behave better. None are great, IMO. Use handbrake to convert it to SDR (I've never tried this). Or manually convert DV 7.6 to the more compatible DV 8.1 (google "dovi_tool"). In theory, DV 8.1 "falls back" to HDR10. DV 8.1 is just HDR10 with dynamic metadata. I'm still trying to figure out the process to just straight up ditch the dynamic metadata and make it HDR10 since AV1 doesn't support DV (I encode everything to AV1).
