Re: Top Gun HD DVD - Fatal error occurred, program will now exit

So I reinstalled 1.17.2 and I'm getting different errors ripping the disc. I've previously ripped this disc, so I don't believe it to be the problem. Any of this look familiar to anyone? MakeMKV v1.17.2 win(x64-release) started The new version 1.17.4 is available for download at http://www.makemkv.c...

Top Gun HD DVD - Fatal error occurred, program will now exit

Not sure where to post about HD DVDs, but I'm trying to open Top Gun with an LG GGC-H20L combo drive. This issue appears to be a new bug, as in June 2019 I was able to successfully open and rip the disc. When attempting to open the disc, while the progress bar shows "Decrypting", I get an ...

Re: Converting UHD BD dvhe.07 to dvhe.08 with dovi_tool

MediaInfo doesn't show DV info on a BL+RPU or EL+RPU HEVC stream, in my experience. It just shows "SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible", so it looks just like an HDR10 file. The elementary stream needs to be remuxed into a container. So what does MediaInfo show about your m2ts/ts file remuxed ...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

What are the correct ffmpeg options needed to demux an HDR10+ HEVC stream from an MKV file? When demuxing DV video, I've gotten used to adding a bitstream filter: ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v copy -vbsf hevc_mp4toannexb -f hevc video.hevc I understand from the docs that the BSF is automatic for HEVC and...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I have discovered another strange bug (?). Apparently, when one plays the .m2ts created with tsmuxer, with Dolby vision FEL content (profile 7 double layer), my LG cx does show the label for atmos and dolby vision, but the player itself says that the content is 4k/24p HDR. The same does not apply w...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Has anyone run into issues with the Sony X700 or X800M2 where 4K files that aren't exactly 2160p resolution get down-res'ed to 1080p? Any fix for this with DAR/SAR headers?

I have a file that's 3840x2080 instead of 2160 and the X800M2 is playing it back with DV but outputting 1080p.

Should you have muxed TrueHD with embedded AC3 (as opposed to TrueHD only) possibly audio will work if you'd select that AC3-track for playback on the Shield.
Agree, TrueHD with AC3 core would be the best approach.

DV8 is by definition STSL, BL+RPU, so I don't think that was intended.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I've also never seen a commercial uhd bluray being encoded with x265: Writing library : x265 3.4+31-6722fce1f:[Mac OS X][clang 11.0.0][64 bit] 10bit Found this site a while back claiming x264 compliance testing by Criterion, and Warner BD discs encoded with x264, so if true, I guess not a big surpr...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

jfyi the linked STSL DoVi P5 mp4 in my previous post does trigger DV on my LG using Infuse 7.3.10/ATV 4K. The colours appear ok to my eyes, but for sure they aren't washed out for that small clip. I assume that STSL is an DV/HDR10 BL as the color primaries are rec.2020 and transfer function is PQ ?...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Using that frankstein workflow, is the RPU applying its metadata screen by screen (or frame by frame) regarding "brightness" ? is there an objective method to find out short of subjectively trying to eye ball it ? In Infuse 7.3.9 and prior, DV5 with PQ EOTF or DV8.1 were fake DV, being di...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

If anyone's interested, I just added muxing BL+EL to dovi_tool. There's no release yet but testing would be nice, more info here: https://github.com/quietvoid/dovi_tool/issues/128#issuecomment-1114074639 This now makes dovi_tool feature complete in comparison to yusesope's script. It's also faster....

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

IYO, what is the impact on screen by screen (or frame) display brightness when a workflow is followed to convert DV P7 DTDL BL+MEL+RPU to P5 STSL BL+RPU where the EL (MEL) is discarded? (Putting aside the color space differences) I mean, there isn't really a workflow that goes from DV7 -> DV5, is t...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Could you explain why the enhancement layer is always shown as 1080p and not in 4K resolution? I can imagine it's just extra sub-sampling into a smaller footprint for compression efficacy. Where I wonder if this would be possible because the data itself is differential, and/or the source being enco...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Just to expand on this a little. 1.) Is the reason the FEL layer file size is so much bigger than the MEL version because the FEL contains 12bits of color data, which has exponentially more color data than the 10bit MEL version? When dealing with DV Profile 7, you have a Base Layer and an Enhancemen...
