Hi,
I've been re-encoding my 4K HDR remuxes for quite some time. Everything worked perfectly with HandBrake 1.10.2 (2025090600), which correctly converted Dolby Vision metadata to Profile 8.1 during encoding. However, after updating to HandBrake 1.11.2 (2026060700), Dolby Vision metadata is no longer preserved. The resulting files contain only HDR10, with all DoVi metadata stripped out.
As a workaround, I now have to use DDVT to reinject the Dolby Vision metadata into the HandBrake output, which adds extra steps and processing time.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with HandBrake 1.11.2? Is there a setting I'm missing, or was Dolby Vision preservation changed in this version?
Thanks in advance for any help.
