This Custom Format works together with the normal [DV](#dv) Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.
If you don't use decent filenames (like not adding release groups) don't add this Custom Format, except if you want to upgrade them.
Most WEBDL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR10, What can results in playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not Dolby Vision compatible setup.

So what's the best way to setup the Custom Profiles and which one to use with which scores?
There isn't a best score setup, being that everyone has their own personal preferences. Some prefer high quality audio, others high quality video. Many prefer both.
There isn't a best setup, being that everyone has their own personal preferences. Some prefer high quality audio, others high quality video. Many prefer both.

You will also see a short description of what each setting means.
After you've added the Custom Formats, as explained in [How to import Custom Formats](/Radarr/Radarr-import-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
You will need to set it up in the quality Profile you want to use/prefer to make use of the Custom Formats.
My suggestion is to create tiers of scores based on what things matter to you.
Personally, I would only add the Custom Formats that do what you actually prefer. Especially in the beginning, including the [Releases you should avoid](#releases-you-should-avoid)

Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score if possible, it's smarter to use the [720/1080p no x265](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-7201080p){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format.

Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support. If you have more than a of couple users, you will notice much more transcoding.
Use x265 only for 4k releases and the [720/1080p no x265](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-7201080p){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} makes sure you still get the x265 releases.

If you (or family members you share your collection with) have a setup that doesn't support Dolby Vision then it's best to add **ALL** the HDR Metadata even the ones with DV in it, and then make sure you make use of the [{{ radarr['cf']['dv-webdl']['name'] }}](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#dv-webdl) Custom Format with a score of {{ radarr['cf']['dv-webdl']['trash_score'] }}
All the used scores and combination of Custom Formats in this Guide are tested to get the desired results and prevent download loops as much as possible.
From experience most of the time when people change scores or leave out certain CF that work together they end up with undesired results.
