BUG: DV file is showing HDR compatibility when there is no compatibility #1203

Description

@toddke

I have a DoVi file using the dvhe.05 profile and mediainfo says it has an HDR10 compatible stream. However, according to the DV spec, dvhe.05 does not have any HDR10 compatibility and only IPTPQc2 / IPT color space is supported.
