the complications are unreal., this script alone I use to fix DolbyVision files on for my appleTV is crazy big

I didnt write that, but I like your thinking, just making something that converts everything to a "modern and efficient" way would be unreal hard to do lol

I should maybe start my own GitHub and start putting things on there, but again, laziness and time. Movie/tv collection is a hobby for me and so is scripting to make it work the way I want. Like you, I do it when I have moments to spare (usually when im slacking at work, working from home helps lol). Dog and a newborn are time killers, barely have time to game, which is my fave hobby lol

Dont have kids... lol

I'm dealing with my first 4K HDR video.  How do I convert it from Dolby Vision 7.6 to the more compatible DV 8.X.  My phone (Pixel 6a) will try to direct play it, but the video is blank.

Does something like this exist on Linux?  dovi_tool I think I read about somewhere.
