A noob friendly tutorial on "HDR to SDR conversion"?

[BhaturaGuy]

Went through this hdr-toys.
And copied the shaders and config as it is.
and here's the result:
mpv --no-config with hdr file.

Hdr file with your config.

Sdr version of a file run with mpv --no-config

I wanna know maybe I did something wrong? Or this is the actual output expected through your config.

Hello, I have written a very simple document and I would like to know what kind of information would be good for "noob", I will add it.

By that I meant written a format that anyone without an engineering degree would understand, and as it is right now it shouldn't require much I guess. Easy to understand now, though I guess mpv's learning curve is infinite.

I'm also unable to get good results.

HDR example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVvEISFw9w0

Firefox, HDR -> SDR done automatically by YouTube website:

I downloaded the video and opened it in standalone Firefox tab without YouTube website filters:

MPV default:

MPV using your portable_config without any change or addition:

I also tried replacing the
glsl-shader=~~/shaders/hdr-toys/tone-mapping/bt2446c.glsl
line by every other file in /shaders/hdr-toys/tone-mapping/, but none produced good results.

@pintassilgo I guess your mpv doesn't suppport vo=gpu-next.
get newer version from https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-winbuild-cmake/releases

[pintassilgo]

My mpv is 0.35, built from git 20221222 (commit 657fd280).

gpu-next works here. I use Linux.
