What PC hardware setup do you have please as I wasn’t aware playback of Dolby Vision media via Windows was even possible?RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 3:51 am
I prefer converting p5 to p8 because this way I can also watch it on my projector with madVR.
I meant, converting to profile 8 allows me to playback in HDR10(in SDR actually) on my PJ and in DV on my TV.DolbyVisionFTW wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 9:53 amWhat PC hardware setup do you have please as I wasn’t aware playback of Dolby Vision media via Windows was even possible?
Thanks.
Thanks for your tutorial videos.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 3:03 pmIf the DV web-dl has black bars hardcoded in the video, the active area is already correct in the RPU so no need to modify it.
In other words, you only need to set the active area when your web-dl has cropped black bars(iTunes web-dl) because those web-dl don't have any L5 active area. (if they did, they would play overcropped on devices that use L5)
Most of the devices seem to ignore L5 (shield, x700) but the internal player of LG oled TV does use it so it's better to set the L5 correctly instead of top/bottom to 0/0 for every movie.
Check the video resolution.

If I would like to enjoy Dolby Vision movies directly on a LG C1 (via USB) the only thing I need to change is the container from *.mkv to *.ts with tsMuxeR, right? Tried it with a remux of Kong vs. Godzilla and Adams Family and the TV won't switch to DV, it "only" (first world problems) shows HDR. What did I forget?
Sorry if I ask something that was answered in one of the sites in this topic, which started 2018, but getting Dolby Vision up and running on some devices needs some work and I hope someone can provide me links with information so I can enjoy DV files on the LG C1.
Thank you in advance.
If your device support MKV DV, it can be done with mkvmerge, you change the BL from full to limited. I did it a couple of times, it works great on the shield.
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o X:\output.mkv --colour-range 0:1 X:\input.mkv
It's really dynamic and very close to the original DV. It measures each pixel just like the Dolby algo and the dovi_tools use those values to create proper L1 metadata.PU7jJ wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 11:09 pmAlso, what exactly does using the madvr measurements method do? Is this a viable way to maybe approach the 'real' dynamic metadata, or should I see it more as just a way to put the HDR10 static metadata in a DV container, maybe like those media players with the 'VS10 engine' do on the fly?
Hi everybody. I contributed this thread several months ago with my experience with Chromecast with Google TV, I'm happy with this device, I was looking for a small device that could camouflage in the furniture without being seen, and the priority was that it could deliver the best picture quality my Panasonic HZ1000 could bring, so the support of FEL DV was critical.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 8:12 pm1- Yes
2- I never tried with the HDMI out 2 but it should work, I don't see why it wouldn't. X700 supports DTS-X and TrueHD Atmos passthrough.
3- Yes, but the ethernet is only 100mbps. Lossless audio should be supported as well via your network. I use a USB, so maybe other users can confirm.
Because most of the Netflix web-dl were converted from profile 5 to profile 8 (with an HDR10 BL).Cruzader1986 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 2:06 pmWhy does DV mp4 from netflix play as HDR on non-DV screen while DV mp4 from disney plus will show a green sdr on non-DV screen? Is there a way to convert the disney DV?
Some release groups prefer that instead of releasing a DV p5 and an HDR10 version.
I wonder if they fixed the problem that LLDV is the default mode.

E-AC3 1536kbps from ffmpeg is really good, much better than lossy DTS 1536kbps and very close to DTS-HD quality. I just wish ffmpeg supported 7.1 channel. https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=177346&page=4yossSP wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:14 pmSo my solution is to convert the best quality audio in my language if it's not supported. I do it with ffmpeg converting to EAC3 5.1 1536kbps, and adding it as default audio track. Practically there is no film with more than 5.1 channels in my language and my ear can't distinguish the new track from the original.
Did they say if they are ever going to change that?
I think the problem is something in the RPU not being applied correctly so yeah there is some quality loss like the Vincent video showed. FEL or MEL, the bug is the same.
Me too, perhaps in a futureRESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:10 pmE-AC3 1536kbps from ffmpeg is really good, much better than lossy DTS 1536kbps and very close to DTS-HD quality.

Absolutely, I have to wait almost 2 months to receive the answer, so they will escalate the question to the "next level of technical support", and the reply was as concised as I told. I've never reply again, they're too slow and brief.
Ok, I just found this thread: https://www.avforums.com/threads/is-dol ... 299/page-2RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:10 pmI think the problem is something in the RPU not being applied correctly so yeah there is some quality loss like the Vincent video showed. FEL or MEL, the bug is the same.
We will know more when the new Spears and Munsil disc is out
Maybe something changed since then but when I had a Chromecast (months ago), I checked the lldv bug and it was as bad as the x700 or the shield.yossSP wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:30 pmOk, I just found this thread: https://www.avforums.com/threads/is-dol ... 299/page-2
A user says: "So Dolby Vision on HZ series isn't as bad as I thought overall. HZ1000 paired with newest Chromecast didn't show the same issues as with Sony X700 in player-led mode. Comparing TV-led output from X700 and player-led from Chromecast, I couldn't spot any differences - APL seemed equal, highlights were nice and bright without any differences in clipping and couldn't see any added posterization. And no frame-skipping of course, as expected from player-led. All blu-ray players should perform equally in terms of player-led output quality so I doubt it's my X700's fault, but nice to see that player-led is usuable on some of the streaming devices at least."
Thanks for your reply
Is there an ETA for that, do you know?RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:10 pm
