Some people still think HDR is only available in 4k (because that's how most movies are distributed). But you can absolutely fit an H.265 HDR 10-bit 1080p (or 4k) movie on a data DVD±R, or H.266 HDR 720p on a CD-R. It's usually not worth the effort, though.
And you can only appreciate the resolution if the screen takes up enough of your visual field, and HDR only in a glare-free dark environment. My small LCD TV offers neither so there is no reason to download movies above 720p (even DVD over RGB looks sharp on it).
I've literally only seen like 1 movie that was 1080p hdr lol
I have only ever downloaded a 720p HDR file once. They are indeed rare.
