That's a Dolby Vision Profile 5 file. A format that's very very proprietary. The only PC apps that can play them at all are https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p

Is there a way to use Infuse on PC? The only links I see are to the App Store

  Macs are PC's, you can also make a hackintosh. EDIT2: if you consider an ARM board that you can install custom OS on as a PC – admittedly, bit of a stretch – then you can grab UGOOS AM6B plus / AM6 plus / Minix u22x-j max install CoreELEC on it and enjoy DV. https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/dolby-vision-for-minix-u22x-j-max-and-ugoos-am6/24273 https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/dolby-vision-for-minix-u22x...

You can play it with mpv, it depends on the hardware/drivers. It worked fine on a random Ryzen Lenovo laptop with Linux even though MacOS version of mpv couldn't play it correctly on M2 (even though Apple claims that M2 is compatible with the format).

  And you're sure it was a Profile 5, not 7/8 file?

  It depends on what format/decoder support went into your particular build of mpv. It offloads almost all of its capabilities onto ffmpeg and its supporting libraries, which in turn won't necessarily be built with exactly everything enabled.

Infuse is great. I use it to play stuff (in basically any format) from the NAS through the Apple TV on a dumb TV.

Nowadays mpv is able to decode it correctly, but it usually requires for that the command-line option "--vo=gpu-next". A couple of years ago, mpv was unable to handle it.
