Command line to create Dolby Vision MKV file in Linux

I have a Dolby Vision UHD disc dump and am trying to figure out how to generate an MKV file that would contain the Dolby Vision video tracks.

I created the MKV file using this:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon mkv file:<UHD_Disc_Dir> <title_number> <output_dir>
When I open the resultant MKV file using MediaInfo program (version 20), it doesn't recognize Dolby Vision in the file.

What am I doing wrong?

Your version of MediaInfo MAY still be too old.

MediaInfo change log:

Version 20.09, 2020-10-09
-------------
+ Dolby ED2: full featured support (presentations, presentation targets, beds, objects)
+ MKV: support of Dolby Vision metadata
+ MXF: detection of Dolby E hidden in PCM tracks having more than 2 channels
+ WAV: detection of Dolby E hidden in PCM tracks having more than 2 channels
+ CineForm: display of color space (including Bayer), bit depth
x WAV: more precise sample count
x SMPTE ST 337: catch of streams starting later than usual (probing increased from 4 to 16 PCM "frames")
x PNG: detection of additional alpha plane in color space
x MXF: detection of additional alpha plane in color space
x AVI: detection of additional alpha plane in color space
x MPEG Audio: was wrongly flagging Xing info tag as CBR
x VorbisTag: does not skip DISCID
x Miscellaneous bug/crash fixes
