"It's A Wonderful Life (4K)" was released in B&W -- but the included Blu-Ray was the colorized version. I need an HD version for travel this Christmas, because I don't trust VUDU to work on Xmas Eve with the family. I'd like to convert the B&W-4K to 1080p, is there any software out...

More than 1000 UHDs have been released lol. I own nearly 70% of them but now switching to iTunes Digital as I have reached my tipping point with collecting physical media.

My lord. I wish I possessed that kind of disposable income...

I have now ripped 400+ UHDs using latest MakeMKV. Wondering if there is any external media player that supports playback of MKVs in Dolby Vision?

Holy hell, how long did that take you?? I didn't know 400 UHDs were even available yet...

This only works on Plex through NVIDIA Shield, correct? Because I feed my Laptop Windows 10 to Plex solely, and nothing triggers the DV, so far. I think it's Plex on any AndroidTV streaming device, but yeah Nvidia Shield is the popular one. Not sure what's going on in the Windows world! Too bad for...

Sorry if it's been asked before, but can I remux existing MKV files with the DV layer to trigger DV in Plex, and if so how? If you ripped the MKV using MakeMKV 1.15.2 or higher they should be good to go! If you ripped them in 1.15.1 then I think you can open it with 1.15.3 and output it back to a n...

I tried a few movies at lunch which triggered DV: 2001 The Matrix Saving Private Ryan War of the Worlds I also tried The Shining which only triggered HDR. Of those I tried, The Shining is the only one that also has HDR10+ support which could have something to do with it? I've got 26 Dolby Vision mo...

What if you used 1.15.1 and later? Will it work then? Yes. 1.15.0 - DV discarded 1.15.1 - DV bitstream preserved when opening BD disc. Discarded if source is MKV file. A bug - DV bitstream is (slightly and reversibly) corrupted. No MKV DV metadata. 1.15.2 - DV bitstream preserved when opening BD di...

Plex and MediaInfo need to be updated to work properly. Plex uses a modified version of Google's ExoPlayer (at least the Android TV version does). I believe ExoPlayer now supports MKV DV metadata but Plex would need to update their branch. I am sure MediaInfo's next release will also properly show ...

I'm not sure it's a Plex issue. I re-ripped "HALLOWEEN (1978)". MakeMKV recognized the dual-layer dvhe 7.06 after decrypting. I then checked the newly-ripped MKV in MediaInfo, and there is no Dolby Vision found, only basic HDR10. Same with running prior DV rips (MKV files, ripped in 1.15....

Tried it. Also re-ripped a DV disc. My TCL TV doesn't recognize it over Plex. well yeah there is currently no support for mkvs with DV in most of the major apps. there are workarounds if you'd like to read up on it in the other threads I'm not sure it's a Plex issue. I re-ripped "HALLOWEEN (19...

Does this mean that if I had created an MKV (using MakeMKV) of a movie that had a DV track (but shows as HDR10) , I can just open that old .mkv and create a new mkv with the DV track enabled? How would I do that? It would be much quicker than re ripping those disks. If you'd done it prior to 1.15.1...

Ordered the drive on a Friday and rec'd it monday and it simply worked . Alex was extremely helpful over email and text and even had it at the post office before receiving payment from me! Lesson being, be a good person and get him his cash! He'll go out of his way to get you ripping in no time. Pas...
