Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

Dolby Vision is a complicated topic. Dolby Vision has a concept of profiles. DV Profile 5 is the profile used for streaming. If you have a streaming box like an Apple TV or Firestick or whatever that supports streaming things in Dolby Vision, that's the profile used. Profile 7 is used for UHDs. Pro...

Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

Zidoo Z9X will also play DV MKV's - it is what I use for my 800+ title collection. Probably has the best PQ of the units out there but it is file playback only, not a streamer (i.e. no Netflix, Amazon, etc). The Dune players also work This is good news for me then. I was looking at getting a Zidoo ...

Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

This is what MediaInfo version 21.09 shows me for my 4K rip of Dune (2021) . HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible So your file has DV. Unfortunately, for now anyway, most players do not play DV in a MKV file. Most people...

Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

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. Can I play the mkv initially created through an Nvidia Shield Pro and get the Doby Atmos and Dolby Vision straight away or must I convert the mkv ...

Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

Are you ripping a movie that actually contains DV? Not all UHD discs have DV.
I have tried it with "Ready Player One" as well as "Dune". The "Ford vs Ferrari" works great because its HDR10. lol

Cannot get Dolby Vision

Ok. I feel really stupid. Either I'm REALLY bad at searching or my question hasn't been asked. First, total noob here. Not with tech, but with Makemkv. I cannot, for the life of me, get my rips to output Dolby Vision. I have the latest version of Makemkv, it reads fine an outputs the file correctly....
