How do I know the movie is playing in Dolby Vision?

How do I know the movie is playing in Dolby Vision?

I've tried PotPlayer, VLC, Energy Player, and the Film & TV app from Windows, and they all look exactly the same. The only one that convinces me is Energy Player, because it actually shows information confirming that the movie is running in Dolby Vision.

So, where I can find info in PotPlayer that shows the movie is currently playing in Dolby Vision?

Using Direct11 causes stutter in HDR

Ok so this is a little odd but here goes. I am on WIN11. I have a lot of encoded 1080p HDR films. When playing them in Direct11 renderer the footage seems a little stuttery. It's not crazy amounts but enough that it does make the film look bad. When I switch the MadVR the stutter goes but the colours are a tad duller. So I either have nice bright colours in Direct11 (but with stutter) or use MadVR but the brightness is a tad duller. Is there a best of both worlds?

Not sure what settings I should be using in Direct11 but surely it shouldn't be causing the video to be a bit choppy?

something wrong with playback!

videos , pacific rim , sourced from ahm ahm websites, anime by Netflix, i can send a file if anyone wants to test it. not now though

S01 , E01 was working fine on pot player. Recently copied rest of the episodes to PC from HDD, suddenly audio issues and lagging when seeking or pause and play! The audio goes mute and random places for no known reason, some places r repeating.

I thought episode encoding issues

then checked episode 1 which used to work fine but even that is not working on the same player! Even VLC can' seem to work either. But as I am guy who has players installed, MPV works fine. But my issue is MPV UI feels limited , whether HW on or not who knows!

Still would like to know if anyone suddenly faced this issue. I don't remember updating recently, so I can't say if it is an Update!

shut down , restart, uninstall reinstall, both pot player and VLC, were done!

EDIT : as per suggestions , checked disk DISM etc done. Reinstalled MPC-HC or other players. other videos which r smaller do not have issues, only these ones and other larger ones! And the MPV player works!

Potplayer can't do 4K 120fps...

...But MPC can? Is there any setting I can adjust to make this happen? Potplayer is my preferred player these days, but it's just not up to snuff.

Does potplayer has 1 click screenshot/record option like VLC?

This is the only thing stopping me from using potplayer as a default. In VLC i can simply click and it will save with filename, however I can only find shortcut using keyboard in potplayer.
