Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[PlatypusW]

I have an LG G1 and Sony x700. Now, if I have a .iso of a 4K Bluray (dual layer DV), can I play it in its full glory by converting it to .m2ts (because .iso playback is not supported if I'm not mistaken)? If so, what is the exact process that I'd have to follow?

maybe you can just copy the m2ts file from the bluray and put it on a usb stick, without using tsmuxer idk. never tried

This won’t work if you want Dolby vision from my tests. Has to go through nightly tsmuxer first.

sure. I use this method: with tsmuxer, add the heaviest m2ts file from the bluray and mux in m2ts. (maybe you can just copy the m2ts file from the bluray and put it on a usb stick, without using tsmuxer idk. never tried.)
if you need subtitles, but don't want horrible subtitles, do this: add a srt file, go to the subtitles section, change font to size 20 (or what u want) and color to # 3a3a3a (or what u want). I use position between 88 (max position for black bar) and 0, change each time, to prevent burn in. Mux in blu-ray folder.

question: how can I play an mkv file dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU with lg cx and sony x700?

Alright, thanks so much. When you say mux in bluray folder you mean only when adding subtitles?

By the way, I found out that dvhe.05.06 is perfectly playable if in .mp4 through LG's Plex app. I guess this has already been talked about, but I'm happy it worked. Worked with S02E3 of The Witcher, but I supposed it's fine with others.

I mux in blu-ray folder, but m2ts works fine with sub.

Unfortunately, .mkv dvhe.05.06 doesn't work with plex.

update: solved! just convert .mkv to m2ts with tsmuxer, works fine on x700

Anyone have experience with Zappiti (https://www.zappiti.com) or Zidoo (https://www.zidoo.tv) players regarding DV FEL support?

Zappiti claims to have FEL support: https://www.zappiti.com/zappiti-reference-dolby-vision

But sound support is lacking https://zappiti.uservoice.com/forums/31 ... by-true-hd

Also a discussion from the Zidoo forum http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads ... ack.87108/

Seems like they can handle FEL but only utilize the RPU layer.

(Both Zappiti and Zidoo is based on Realtek RTD1619 and also found Dune HD https://www.dune-hd.com)

Or is the conclusion that Chinoppo is still the only player that properly support FEL playback?

Thanks.

this is a little off topic, but libplacebo from videolan now has dolby vision profile 5 and 8 tone mapping support (I believe). Bluray's live in the profile 7 world, but I find this interesting overall.

I believe that no one can decode FEL at the moment in MKV (oppo can decode bluray images). the ones that claim FEL support just means they don't choke on FEL.

Amazing news, thanks @quietvoid for the contribution again!

Ugoos AM6+ has a 2nd decoder so is able to playback FEl (from dual track mp4) but it's a very buggy player.

You may want to ask yourself how many tv's support full 12 bit processing. And then yet, those 12bit colors will be downscaled within max luminance capacity of the screen. TBH, I think that nowadays tv's will not hit enough nits to even support 10 bit to its full brightness.

Thanks for the replies above guys.

Even though Ugoos / Am6+ can display FEL titles they don’t have a Dolby Vision SDK so it isn’t actually accurate so a waste of time.

Don’t forget a lo to of recent Fel titles have contained significant picture detail in the enhancement layer, it isn’t always just 2 bits of extra colour in the Fel layer.

Can either the Oppo 203 or 205 do anything the Sony X700 can't as far as DV BL+FEL+RPU? From what I've read, the Oppo supports ISO whereas the X700 only supports BDMV folders. I also read the X700 supports BDMV folders via USB only and not LAN. Not sure about the Oppo?

Thanks.

Hi folks,

i have a problem with the process to get an DV MP4 file running on the Apple TV 4k with iOS 15 and the latest Infuse release from the App-Store.

What i've done:
- Ripped the entire UHD Blu Ray with MakeMKV
- Extracted the M2TS File with TsMuxR
- Extracted the base Layer and the enhanced Layer from the M2TS file with `ffmpeg -i 00801.m2ts -c copy -map 0:0 bl.hevc -c copy -map 0:1 el.hevc`
- Extracted the RPU from the el.hevc with `./dovi_tool extract-rpu -i el.hevc -o rpu.bin`
- Re-Injected the RPU to the bl.hevc with `./dovi_tool inject-rpu -i bl.hevc --rpu-in rpu.bin -o bl.rpu.full.hevc`
- Created a MP4 File with `./mp4muxer_mac -o full.rpu.mp4 -i bl.rpu.full.hevc -i aud1.ac3 --media-lang deu -i aud2.ac3 --media-lang eng --dv-profile 5`

Infuse recognizes the File as DV File but when a start playback the TV shows only HDR. Here are the metadata informations of the final output file:

You're trying to trick Infuse to think the file is profile 5 when it's not.
The Apple TV only supports profile 5 and profile 8.4, which are not HDR10.

[staknhalo]

profile 8.4

I wonder if they'll try to do OTA Dolby Vision in USA/Canada with HLG being part of ATSC 3.0?

What steps have i to do to make the file to a Profile 5 file? I thought that was these two steps

- Re-Injected the RPU to the bl.hevc with `./dovi_tool inject-rpu -i bl.hevc --rpu-in rpu.bin -o bl.rpu.full.hevc`
- Created a MP4 File with `./mp4muxer_mac -o full.rpu.mp4 -i bl.rpu.full.hevc -i aud1.ac3 --media-lang deu -i aud2.ac3 --media-lang eng --dv-profile 5`
