Trying to play Avengers HEVC HDR 10bit encode (12.1G) on my 2017 Macbook Pro & it looks very dim. I've checked multiple times with regular non dr h264 encodes, which look far brighter and vibrant.
Any solution?

If that's your solution, then I gotta say.. you probably don't know what good quality means.Try increase brightness in the screen settings or the game ones

Thanks for your input. I'm not using iTunes. In my country Apple does not sell MCU movies, certainly not in 4K. That's beside the point.First technical details. The screen on that model supports dithered HDR playback, which would still be very close to HDR in most cases.
Second. The source of the video matters.
If you're playing from iTunes then the app doesn't yet support 4K HDR playback on that machine. It will play the 1080p version.
If you're playing back from pirate material then that's your problem. It could have lost color during the ripping process even if the file says it is 10 bit HEVC. You shouldn't play pirate content anyway. Those websites people download the torrents from make millions from ads and they are owned by organised crime and extremists.
One option is VLC which also has built-in HDR codes or some sort of, so you won't need to download stuff like madVR.Years ago I uses to use madVR & MPC-HC. But neither of them are available for mac.
I wonder if there is any equivalent for mac that I can use.
Okay, what settings should I make/change? Can you point me towards a tutorial if available?One option is VLC which also has built-in HDR codes or some sort of, so you won't need to download stuff like madVR.

I didn't find anything when I looked. So I wanted to ask whether there is a workaround to playing HDR stuff in general in retina display, in players like IINA etc.
Whatever is default. I didn't calibrate anything.What display color profile are you using? I'm using a manual calibration and HDR is noticeable.
