How to transcode HDR to SDR in Windows MediaTranscoder API?

Windows provides MediaTranscoder API to transcode video. I am trying to transcode HDR (High Dynamic Range) video into SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) video. I see there is an API for setting video quality i.e.

MediaEncodingProfile profile =
    MediaEncodingProfile.CreateMp4(VideoEncodingQuality.HD720p);

However, there is no way to set bit-depth. Any idea how can I change target bit-depth of the video?

I'm afraid that you can't do that using UWP APIs, you might need to check Media Foundation API for this. – Roy Li - MSFT Oct 14 '21 at 07:11
@RoyLi-MSFT could you please be specific which media foundation API can I use? – Sazzad Hissain Khan Oct 14 '21 at 08:32
I have to say I'm not familiar with Media Foundation API so I can't tell which API should be used in your scenario. You might ask another question with ms-media-foundation tag – Roy Li - MSFT Oct 14 '21 at 09:01
