Yes

Which is why on a browser where the 64Mb file isn't supported, jellyfin is transcoding the file, but you disabled HA so it's only using your CPU causing heavy usage. While in Jellyfin Media Player, the file is supported hence direct play.
Yes, that is what I think happened, and how can I disable transcoding completely to do some tests? I did unchecked every option under Playback settings.

I see that issue sometimes only with browsers. MPC-BE, and MPV are able to handle it but I think they tone map the videos because I have turn off HDR while using those two players or the picture becomes too bright.

The other user suggest MPV Shim which will work. Many other players VLC/Potplayer/MPC will do actual HDR just fine.
The H264/10-bit don't have much to do with Dolby Vision (DV). DV is a standard of HDR while H264 is a codec. Even though your monitor/Windows doesn't support DV, it will play fine, your player depending on your configuration will either tonemap it into SDR or standard HDR10. HDR10 would be playable with the right player.
Ah, I see. I do use for MPV player for HDR10 and DoVi, but not sure how it process the media. Read my previous post about it. I have also attached a screenshot of the config I used for MPV. I also have MPC-BE with madVR & LAVFilters but DoVi doesn't work on it.
Thanks for sharing the config btw.
