Problems with Dolby Vision after make mkv

Post by zack94 »

Hello all,

I have an ISO with Dolby Vision that when running it on a zidoo plays perfectly with dolby vision. The problem comes when I convert it to mkv with makemkv the dolby vision profile fails when playing the mkv on the zidoo. But that mkv plays perfectly with HDR in plex, since plex doesn't give me the Dolby Vision profile.
Does anyone know why the dv fails after converting it to mkv?

Thank you very much,

I don't have much experience with a Zidoo, but it is probably a limitation of the Zidoo being unable to parse the DV data as it is stored in a .mkv file.
