Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Anyone know if Dead Reckoning has raised brightness levels like the rest of the M:I series? I didn't see it in the DV Google Sheet but wanted to double-check.

WH16NS60 needs constant restarting

I have a WH16NS60 drive in a NST-536S3-BK enclosure on 1.02 firmware. Whenever I power on the enclosure I can rip a disc or two without an issue (4k or Blu-ray) but after that, whenever I put a disc in I get the "No disc inserted" message and the disc doesn't appear in Windows Explorer. Lu...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I think I know the answer to this but wanted confirmation anyway. I ripped John Wick 4 and then, with DoVi_Scripts, plotted HDR10 and DV L1: https://i.ibb.co/P62wTnm/John-Wick-Chapter-4-HDR10-plot.png https://i.ibb.co/WKgjZ07/John-Wick-Chapter-4-Do-Vi-L1-PLOT.png As you can see, DV has a higher MaxC...

Re: Fast X (2023)

MakeMKV will try to download new hashed keys if you stick a UHD in your drive and MakeMKV determines it doesn't already have the necessary key. If you have a UHD that MakeMKV can't decrypt and the dump for the disc has been submitted, every few days, stick it in your drive and attempt to rip it wit...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Another unrelated question, if you don't mind: I recently updated the script and now whenever I use the 4-2 path, to convert a profile 7 DV MKV to profile 8, the output is just a .hevc file. Is that normal? It used to be a fully fledged MKV. To be clear, I muxed that .hevc with the audio, chapters ...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Thanks so much for this info. Another question, unrelated: theoretically, would it be possible to calculate the number of pixels in a frame that extend into P3 and Rec.2020? If so, could you do that for a whole movie? The gamut visualizations are helpful for seeing extensions past Rec. 709 but it w...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

What's the maximum number you can use? the script exports a screenshot every 2000 frames starting at frame 1000. (1000-3000-5000-7000-9000-11000 etc..) So it depends on your input length. you could remove a 0 in %%i000 around line 11495 and that would allow a lot more screenshots to be extracted. f...

Workflow 6-8-4. Input a mkv file and the script will automatically export heatmaps and gamut png for 50 frames. You can change the number of frames to export at line 76 in the latest beta.
set frame_number=50
What's the maximum number you can use?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

With option 6-2-7, to create heatmaps and gamut visualizations, is there anyway to have the script read a directory full of screenshots instead of dragging and dropping one at a time?

Issues with Shawscope, Vol. 1 discs

Having trouble with almost all of the discs in the Shawscope, Vol. 1 collection. The first 3 discs all failed, late in the process. I was able to rip the first movie from disc 4 but not the second, also failing near the end. Then the fifth disc failed at the end too (1 minute left in the process). T...
