After the AV1 native path + AV1+DV codec-tag work (9ce8908), the README's
codec table needed two updates:
- HW decode row: AV1 is HW-supported in the native path on devices with
HW AV1 (M3+ Mac, iPhone 15 Pro+, future Apple TV chips).
- SW decode row: AV1 routes here on devices without HW AV1 (current
Apple TV, M1/M2 Mac, pre-A17-Pro iPhone); VP9 always.
- Dolby Vision row: AV1 P10.0 / P10.1 / P10.4 with `dav1` / `av01`
track type + `dvvC` box per Apple HLS Authoring Spec + Dolby ETSI TS
103 572, alongside the existing HEVC P5 / P8.1 / P8.4 entries.
Doc-only; no behavior change.

| HW decode | H.264, HEVC, HEVC Main10 via VideoToolbox in AVPlayer's HLS-fMP4 path. AV1 / VP9 are HW-supported by VideoToolbox but AVPlayer's HLS pipeline rejects them, so both route through the SW pipeline instead (see below)|

| SW decode | AV1 (libavcodec/dav1d) and VP9 (libavcodec native VP9) decode through `SoftwareVideoDecoder` + `AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer`. Engine dispatches by codec at load time: AV1 / VP9 → SW pipeline, everything else → native AVPlayer path|

| HW decode | H.264, HEVC, HEVC Main10 via VideoToolbox in AVPlayer's HLS-fMP4 path. AV1 on devices with HW AV1 (M3+ Mac, iPhone 15 Pro+, future Apple TV chips) also routes natively|

| SW decode | AV1 (libavcodec/dav1d) on devices without HW AV1 — currently all Apple TVs, M1/M2 Macs, pre-A17-Pro iPhones. VP9 (libavcodec native) unconditionally, since AVPlayer's HLS pipeline rejects the `vp09` CODECS attribute even where VT can HW-decode it. Both render through `SoftwareVideoDecoder` + `AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer`. Dispatch decision lives in `AetherEngine.load`, gated per source on `VTCapabilityProbe`|

| HDR10 | BT.2020 + PQ signaled via the HLS-fMP4 wrapper; AVPlayer hands the bitstream to the system HDR pipeline |

| HDR10+ | Per-frame ST 2094-40 dynamic metadata preserved through stream-copy into the HLS-fMP4 wrapper |

| Dolby Vision|Profile 5 / 8.1 / 8.4. Stream-copied into HLS-fMP4 with `dvh1` / `dvhe` track type and the source's `dvcC` box intact, so tvOS triggers the HDMI DV handshake and DV-capable TVs switch into DV mode|

| Dolby Vision|HEVC P5 / P8.1 / P8.4 with `dvh1` / `hvc1` track type + `dvcC` box. AV1 P10.0 / P10.1 / P10.4 with `dav1` / `av01` track type + `dvvC` box (per Apple HLS Authoring Spec + Dolby ETSI TS 103 572). Both engage the tvOS HDMI DV handshake on DV-capable displays|
