Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[mattmarsden]

Thank you so much. Whats the best way to demux the hevc layers? Also what commands do we use in mp4muxer? Thanks!

Thank you so much. Whats the best way to demux the hevc layers? Also what commands do we use in mp4muxer? Thanks!

To demux the HEVC files

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe -i bluray:\path\to\bluray -map 0:0 -c copy %userprofile%\Desktop\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy %userprofile%\Desktop\EL.hevc

To use MP4Muxer

Code: Select all

mp4muxer_64bits.exe --dv-profile 7.06 --input-file %userprofile%\Desktop\BL.hevc --input-file %userprofile%\Desktop\EL.hevc --output-file %userprofile%\Desktop\mp4muxer_out.mp4

[baker99]

But how much do you guys write?

I don't know if there have been developments and I don't know if my tool to create a raw BL+EL+RPU file can still be useful or not but, as promised, you can find the tool HERE.

For those who do not want to use the command line, after unpacking the archive, click on the "start_bl_el_rpu_builder.bat" file and follow the instructions on the screen.
A "BL_EL_RPU.hevc" file will be created in the same folder of this program (so pay attention to how much free space you have left on the disk)

For those who want to use the command line (on Windows, MacOS and Linux), you can use your version of Python (with python >= 3) but you must first install "bitstring"

Code: Select all

pip install bitstring

Windows users can also use the interpreter present in the "python-3.7.6.amd64" folder.

To see the available options, run the source code (in the "src" folder) with the "-h" switch.

Code: Select all

python src/bl_el_rpu_builder.py -h

or(Windows users)

python-3.7.6.amd64\python.exe src\bl_el_rpu_builder.py -h

Hoping that everything works correctly (forgive any errors), I recommend you to mux the file obtained using mp4muxer (as far as I know it is the only program able to process the information present in the NAL relating to the Enhancement Layer).
Try both with profile 4 and with profile 7.

Happy testing everyone!

Wohoo thank you, will get testing

Thanks for that, I was after the mp4muxer command for the new SL file that Yuescope's tool makes.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

So what is this tool doing? Normally I demux the BL and EL and audio (DTS HD) and remux them with mp4box. I always play dual layer DV with external hard drive on my oled c7. Does this tool improve something in my situation?

If it is already working for you, then you shouldn't have to use the tool. This is to create a proper single layer DV file.

Any chance someone could put together a complete post with steps involved to use this new tool for single layer, plus adding in an Atmos track?
I'm interested in creating single layer files with Atmos to play on the Shield.

I'm using DVDFab now, but would like to try out this method.

[baker99]

Using a 1 minute test from Shazam! Single layer DV is produced with no obvious issues, I muxed in Atmos audio with the special tsmuxer build and everything seemed perfect on the shield. I'll let you guys compare the quality as I'm not great at spotting subtle differences. I'm holding off converting my whole library until you all confirm it's perfect.

WELL DONE yusesope !

What did you use to demux the layers? It crashes out when I add mine

A brief guide to yusesope's single layer DV tool

extract bl_el_rpu_builder.zip on a hard drive with plenty of space
Use ffmpeg to extract layers as follows
ffmpeg -ss 0 -i bluray:\path\to\bluray -t 60 -map 0:BL_STREAM_ID -c copy %userprofile%\Desktop\BL.hevc
ffmpeg -ss 0 -i bluray:\path\to\bluray -t 60 -map 0:EL_STREAM_ID -c copy %userprofile%\Desktop\EL.hevc

Run start_bl_el_rpu_builder.bat
drop in the BL then press enter
drop in the EL then press enter

The tool will do it's magic

you will then see a file called BL_EL_RPU.hevc has been created

Using the special tsmuxer build from RESET_9999 post https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21A ... ion=locate

drop BL_EL_RPU.hevc in
then drop either your m2ts file for the movie or the movie playlist file in tsmuxer
delete the two video tracks that are added from that file leaving only BL_EL_RPU.hevc
don't delete any audio files (unless you don't need specific tracks)
Press start muxing and wait
once complete you should have a single layer DV file which plays on the shield

I have no idea, are you using the tsmuxer build from RESET_9999's post? I think I read something in the tsmuxer forum about it reporting 08.06 for some reason, I think it should be saying 07.06
