Well I've sent a PM already but then I realized that the new issue is an authoring problem.
So I don't think there's a way for MakeMKV to work around it.

The tsMuxer bug is still a thing, though.

There's a new retail disc with similar errors but at a different timestamp.
Where can I report this bug again? Last time I went through a PM to Mike.

Thank you! This was it. Didn't realize that Powershell could cause problems. I've never had any problem when using ffmpeg in powershell. The issue lies in piping data to other processes (the "ffmpeg ... - | dovi_tool ... -" part), so if you were simply using FFmpeg on its own, it would wo...

I tried running it again using the Glassblowing demo to rule out a bad file, and I get the exact same error message. After ffmpeg finishes I get a blank space in the console and after about ~50 seconds I get this error message. I also tried to switch to mode 3 (which I suppose shouldn't make a diff...

Question is if keeping a mkv backup is future proof. The bug I understand is converting the other way, from BDMV structure with TSMuxer to mkv again?

Thanks in advance.

Yes the bug is to go back BDMV -> MKV.
Otherwise using TSMuxer should probably be fine for playback.

Is it possible to convert a UHD movie to mkv using makemkv and then reversing the process using TSMuxer to create a new BDMV without losing any Dolby Vision information? (I understand that Bluray menues will be removed etc., but I'm interested in knowing if a ripped mkv with DV is future proof and ...

Hello, I'm very new to DV muxing and the involved programs. So I found this thread and started from here. I tried the guide with this command (I ran it in the folder where clip.mkv is at): ffmpeg -i clip.mkv -c:v copy -vbsf hevc_mp4toannexb -f hevc - | dovi_tool -m 2 extract-rpu - -o clip_RPU.bin B...

Latest Plex won't let you play MakeMKV rips in Dolby Vision.
Also you need Kodi 21 to play these MKVs, and most of them won't work on a FireTV Stick 4K.

yes it is how it works... Each trims are edited manually after the analysis to make sure the desired look is preserved. Dolby vision is not just an algorithm. I'm only clarifying your statement that the trim passes are done two times (L8 + L2), because it's not true. If you even did a little resear...

I bet this is the reason why we do not see a lot of CMV4.0 movies because the colorist has to do the trim passes two times (L8 + L2). That's not really how the workflow works. The grading is done in CM v4.0 and the L2 metadata is generated automatically by software. So the trim passes are still don...

What about kodi as launcher on your android builds?

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=351513

I'm not interested.

Ok, of course, but i'm intrigued why are you so sure and categorical. It's because new firmwares are worst in certain aspects? In the past I've had issues with stutters caused by not having enough free RAM. The default launcher seems to use more memory, and I still have a custom leaner launcher ins...

As I said before I think this device is playing FEL titles as MEL (without using EL layer) but... could It be a good time to update your ancient 2018 Firestick and give it a try?

I'm not updating it, no.

I think the problem here is actually with HDR10+ files. I'm running into the Blank/Black Screen Issue even on files with the following HDR Format on my Fire TV 4K Max: "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible...

I see then what do you use with those files? Thanks. I don't watch high bitrate files. from the 1.17.3 release notes: "DV HEVC streams with certain encoding were processed in a non-compatible way" is there any more info on this? especially on how to differentiate UHD discs of which previo...
