Personally, I wouldn't bother converting DV5 videos to HDR10. Some Android TV devices use mediatek SoCs, and some of those models have driver bugs that break Dolby Vision 7 and 8. And one of my devices also has a mediatek chipset.
That is in addition to my re-encoding all my media to AV1, which doesn't support DV 7 or 8.
Yes, you are right. And I gave up

I figure its because DV5 is using properitary colorspace and not many tools are capable of reading it and doing anything about it.
I even read that owners of Dolby Vision standard have IP patent on the method of converting DV5 to HDR and thats why there are no tools to do it avaliable to public.
