Custom Format for Single Layer Dolby Vision releases.
!!! note
This seems the preferred option for PLeX with a Shield 2019 model that supports DV.
But keep in mind it also depends on how the releaser names the files!
Shield can play any Single Layer DV in a .ts container via Plex natively. It can also play most Single Layer in .mkv but only via PlexForKodi with a modded version of exoplayer.
An incompatible variant should still play as HDR10 in most clients.
**UPDATE:** DV is part of the MKV spec now and ExoPlayer added native support so hopefully coming soon.

## HDR
[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding){:target="_blank"}
High-dynamic-range video (HDR video) is video having a dynamic range greater than that of standard-dynamic-range video (SDR video).HDR video involves capture, production, content/encoding, and display. HDR capture and displays are capable of brighter whites and deeper blacks. To accommodate this, HDR encoding standards allow for a higher maximum luminance and use at least a 10-bit dynamic range (color depth, compared to 8-bit for non-professional and 10-bit for professional SDR video) in order to maintain precision across this extended range.

## 4K Remaster
A remastered or mastered in 4K should give you usually the best picture and audio currently for the movie. Both are just names to describe the best possible currently for the movie.
To be clear, the final digital films on the Mastered in 4K Blu-rays still only have the same 1920 x 1080 pixels of actual resolution as normal Blu-rays. But the argument goes that because these full HD files were derived from higher-resolution masters, their images will be more precise, with better colours, less noise, and enhanced sharpness and detail. Not least because the higher-resolution mastering process will provide more detail from the original print for the Blu-ray masters to draw on when going through their (hopefully…) frame-by-frame compression process.
Another important element of the Mastered in 4K discs is that they’re all mastered with ‘x.v.YCC’ colour specification. This delivers an expanded colour range closer to that contained in original source material.
