Official Dolby Vision MKV spec support

[SamuriHL]

I agree with that. I find it very unlikely OPPO responds at all.

Oh they still have customer support for inquiries and warranty, but the engineers are long gone. So he would get an answer, just not the one he is hoping for.

Well, ok, I guess a response but even that's not guaranteed. They're likely only interested in spending money on supporting existing functionality they are obligated to support. They are a business, after all, and there's zero money to be made on this.

Will the next version of Makemkv support muxing an MKV with 2 video streams (made with mkvtoolnix from an old Makemkv backup) into a DV-compliant MKV?

Zidoo Z9X recieved firmware update v6.0.22_G
among other things there is this

Code: Select all

24. Add initial support for Dolby vision MKVs (experimental function, support Profile5, 8 MEL)

I've tried the P4 sample and it fails on Fire TV Stick 4K, so I assume it is FEL.

Please be kind as I am brand new here. I keep seeing this abbreviation: FEL and I can't for the life of me figure out what it means. I'm a bit overwhelmed with terms here!

Thanks for understanding

It means Full Enhancement Layer.

I’m not sure we we can choose to makemkv from profile 7 to 8 can we?
Also the million dollar question is what happens with the FEL in these cases?

There's really no such thing as a profile 8 MEL, since the EL doesn't exist in profile 8. The support is likely just for the single layer profile 5 and 8 test mkvs that Mike created. There are no methods available currently to create any profile 5 or 8 mkvs. If this is the extent of the zidoo's dv playback capability, then it doesn't bode well for playing back uhd disc rips.

I always wondered the same about Profile 5 and 8. AFAIK, there is no method to truly convert UHD disk profile 7 to Profile 5/8 with correct color space ( at least nothing available to public from Dolby Labs). I know with profile 5, it's always undefined color space. Profile 5 I have created with tools here and DVDfab is more like HDR10+, better than nothing and better contrast and punchy colors than HDR10.

... which is sort of what I think the Dolby Vision VS10 engine Zidoo is blowing about, basically just active HDR..

Its probably just a typo. Profile 7 with MEL works just fine on the Zidoo, though.

Hopefully this post will get me over the hump

I think you are very active in Zidoo forums ( I have seen your username there ), do you actually own the unit? What are your thoughts about it in terms of DV support?

Yes, I own the unit. It's too early to tell as DV is still new for both, Zidoo and Realtek. Having said that, they added DV mkv pretty soon so I'm optimistic.
For mkv profile 5, 7 MEL and 8 are supported right now.
If you want to know anything specific let me know.

Do you happen to have a UHD Bluray player or an LG Oled TV to do some playback comparisons of an MEL title? Mostly just interested to see if there are any color issues on the Zidoo.
