Convert mkv with DV dvhe.08.06 (BL+RPU) into BluRay format (?)

Post by Hot_T »

Hello,
I have a problem converting an mkv with dolby vision back to BluRay format.
The mkv contains a video layer with integrated RPU information (dvhe.08.06 BL+RPU).
Using tsMuxer for creating a bluRay folder structure, the end result is not playble.
I think BluRay needs to have two layers for DV. Otherwise it's not compatible (?)

I managed to remove the RPU information to get a clean BL hevc-file (dovi_tool).
With this cleaned video stream I can use tsMuxer to create a BluRay folder structure which is playble.
But this way I am losing the HDR information within the RPU.

Has anyone achieved to create a BluRay video including the RPU information?
Must the RPU be converted into a MEL format? If yes, how to achieve this?

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hello,

I know this thread is quite old, but I am currently facing exactly the same issue.

Since some time has passed, I was wondering if there has been any new solution or workaround for this problem.

Thank you very much.
