iphone 13 pro - losing HDR information when transfer to PC

[Keithless]

Hi all,
New to the forum. New 13 pro user here, having some issues with the Dolby Vision / HDR video.

When I record a video in hdr, and view it in library, the video has the hdr icon on it.

I uploaded it to youtube directly from the phone, and no hdr is detected on playback on the tv's youtube app ( hdr compatible tv)

I transfer the file to my Windows computer, and when viewed in VLC the codec info appears to be BT.709

I saw a comment where someone said this is due to using windows, and apple converts hdr files to sdr when transferring to a windows computer.

Any help would be appreciated, Cheers!

For some reason on iOS devices, saved videos won’t show HDR. But when you steam the same content, it will be in HDR.

Settings > Photos > Keep Originals

Go into the Youtube app, tap your profile pic in the upper right > Settings > Uploads > Upload Quality > Full

Apple converts videos and pictures unless the device is known to be able to decode DV HDR. Youtube sometimes has peoples upload quality reduced because uploading an HDR video could kill your data plan if applicable.
