Dolby Vision w/FEL + 3D for PC (AMD/Intel/nVidia)

    Quote from Gretas

    Greetings, everyone. Could someone share a working setup for running Windows 11 in a virtual machine—one that allows for full project functionality while enabling the use of the AMD 9950’s integrated graphics core, even when the system is running on a discrete graphics card? I would be very grateful. I’m sure this topic is of interest to many others here on the forum. And a huge thank you to the developer for all their hard work!!!

    I was looking into this, but AFAIK it's not possible under Windows 11. You need a hypervisor that can do Direct Device Assignment (DDA), but the Windows 11 version of Hyper-V does not support that. You would need to run Windows Server Datacenter Edition for that. Maybe there is anther hypervisor that can do this under Windows 11, but I haven't found it yet.

    I found this fork last Sunday and tried RC3 on an i3-14100 iGPU (2x4 GB DDR4-2133) + LG G4 and it works fantastic. I only have a handful of Dolby Vision rips (no FEL) but they all play with very little render utilization using Auto scaling (~25% shown on info OSD with DV Reference at 23.976 Hz). I never hoped to have DV from a PC, but here we are. :)

    Also tried DV to HDR10 which is also excellent. I could not really spot much difference with the naked eye compared to native DV and the image was miles better than the overblown contrast and colors of Kodi HDR10 fallback.

    Thank you CroqueMr for this insane work.

    I wanted to watch "Saving Private Ryan", but it won't play. It’s stuck on a single static frame.

    Could it be an issue with the Ryzen 5 7430U? Tested on CroqueMr R1.0.0-RC3. Perhaps you could try it on an Intel-based system?
