Blooming on Macbook Pro with HDR files

Hey there, so I've certainly made a lot of progress with my journey to play HDR films on my computer. The firmware issue with my Pioneer drive has been fixed. I installed Infuse, which can properly handle HDR formats. I was informed that I need to play Dolby Vision files in Dolby Vision 8 for Macs, ...

Re: Dolby Vision, HDR Playback on Macs

So update. It turns out that if I hover the mouse over the video information, I get a more detailed report. That is a very counter intuitive user interface. It turns out that using DV7 to DV8 is effective. Would it be possible to get an explanation as to why the file is smaller when I convert to DV8...

Re: Dolby Vision, HDR Playback on Macs

I'm not getting any information about DV at all when I rip a file. For context, this is what I get for media info with the original MKV Rip:

Re: Dolby Vision, HDR Playback on Macs

4K UHD discs with DV use Dolby Vision profile 7.0. Makemkv rips these titles to DV profile 7.0. In Mediainfo, the MKV rips should report something like this in the video HDR format line: "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, Profile 7.6, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, no metadata compression, Blu-ray compatible...

Dolby Vision, HDR Playback on Macs

Hey there. So I found out (it may have been the last update?) that the firmware issue with my 4K disc drive was resolved! I am so excited about that. The first 4K disc I tried ripping was Flow, since it is a 4K without HDR. It looked amazing. But I had some questions. Since I have a Mac OS, the onli...

Re: Pioneer XD08 UMB-S Not Working

So in layman's terms, could you explain why this is possibly an unsolvable issue? That almost makes it sound like Mike may have given up on the issue? I certainly hope not. The new firmware is encrypted and not easy to decrypt. Pioneer did a good job. That is really unfortunate. I hope he can solve...

Re: Pioneer XD08 UMB-S Not Working

Yeah I use it for regular blu-rays all the time. Is there any chance that Mike will release a version of MakeMKV that addresses this firmware update? (I got this out of the box and did not update)

Re: Japanese Audio showing up as English - Mind Game (Masaaki Yuasa 5 Films) - No Audio Commentary - Missing Link

I don't know about the movie Mind Game (2004) , but reading your post made me wonder if either of those discs had a PiP track and/or a DTS-Express audio track? Why would the fact that the disc has a picture-in-picture track effect what language is displayed for the audio? I was able to rip the bonu...

Japanese Audio showing up as English - Mind Game (Masaaki Yuasa 5 Films) - No Audio Commentary - Missing Link

So about a week ago, I ripped Missing Link on blu-ray, and for some weird reason, the audio commentary track was not showing up when I ripped it. I thought nothing of it, but now I'm wondering if 1.17.6 has some weird issues. I recently bought The Masaaki Yuasa Five Films collection, and started rip...

Re: Pioneer firmware update February 2023

Any updates for if 1.03 will be supported by MakeMKV? New to this whole thing, is it that 1.03 will be supported its just a matter of time, or is 1.03 completely unable to be supported? My drive is the Pioneer XS07 I think we just have to wait. From what I can understand, Mike will release updates ...

Re: 4K HDR Playback on Mac

I've never used ffplay so I can't comment on its utility as an HDR player. None of the computer monitors I have support HDR. So while I use MPV all the time (IINA is a Mac specific wrapper for MPV) and IINA occasionally, I have no idea how well it works for HDR. Hopefully you'll report back how the...

Re: 4K HDR Playback on Mac

Hasn't Apple given up on QuickTime ? Quicktime X shipped with Mac OS X 10.6 and was a downgrade from QuickTime 7 that preceded it. It seems it was rewritten when it transitioned to 64-bit in QT X (QT 7 was 32-bit) and not all the functionality made it. The last update was in 2018 it seems. In any c...

Re: 4K HDR Playback on Mac

Remuxing MKV files for QuickTime playback could be an option, aiming to maintain quality while transitioning to an MP4 format. Tools like FFmpeg or HandBrake might aid in this process, ensuring minimal quality loss during conversion. Your frustration with the lack of default settings to replicate t...
