Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[geroiminor]

could somebody explained me how to obtain a single DV file with tsmuxer that can be played on the 203.
i took a uhd of mine, create an mkv with makemkv 1.15.3 , extracted the h265 track , and remuxed into a ts with tsmuxer.

oppo long press info menu shows DV 12 bit. but the tv never display the logo.

mediainfo on the ts file correctly display

Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible

Don’t create a mkv with Makemkv, create a full folder back up with makemkv, then drop the movie mpls from your full folder into tsmuxer.
Create an M2TS file with both Video tracks and whatever audio and subs you need.
I repeat, at no stage convert to mkv with Makemkv.

Ok but for testing/debugging reason on the oppo 203, i want to have a single track layer in a ts file, not double track.

Users have reported that single Layer DV in ts files are working on the oppo

Edit ; By working i mean that dolby vision is working / detected by the TV

I purchased a x700 and I watched Dolby Vision films last Friday, Saturday and Sunday . Last night I started to watch Apocalypse Now Final Cut and shortly after the 30minute mark the subtitles started going out of sync. I stopped the film and after restarting the player I wasn't able to fast forward, I've since read a few films have the fast forward problem.

I'm wondering if the subtitles going out of sync is caused by whatever is causing the fast forward problem, or if it has something to do with this information tsMuxer gave after muxing Apocalypse Now Final Cut:

B-pyramid level 3 detected. Shift DTS to 4 frames

Does anyone have any idea how I can prevent the subtitles going out of sync?

[PlatypusW]

I believe the furtherest we have got with the seeking issue, is that it is somehow related to the length of the file.

Interestingly, different formats, whilst they don’t support DV, supposedly allow seeking to work with long duration.

I haven’t got my player yet to investigate myself, but I think that’s all we know at the moment. Duration seems to be a factor but not necessarily the only factor at play.

Can’t help with the subtitle sync issue though, maybe someone else can.

I am not sure I got all the information here correctly....

After I rip, using latest MakeMKV 1.15.3, UHD disc with Dolby Vision (Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible)
Is there a way to convert it (MP4 or MKV) to DV profile 5 for playback on Apple TV 4K ? That of the DV stream and NOT the HDR10 fallback.
If it is possiable, technically, what is the data lost when converting from profile 7 to 5 ?

I think for testing you should go the other way around, if it works with mkvtoolnix:
find mp4/ts files here couple of pages back that Oppo plays back and then convert it to mkv.
Let me know if you won't find any of these, I'll dig it up for you.
Also you can ask other guys here with a Shield to test those mkvs if you don't have a Shiled (I don't).

Has anyone here been able to create a Single Track Dual Layer MEL MKV for 1917 which works on plex as expected?

I have tried creating:
MEL with HDR10Plus using GAMMA
MEL without HDR10Plus using GAMMA
MEL with HDR10Plus using BETA
MEL without HDR10Plus using BETA

All these files play correctly but Plex cannot seek forward in any of them / resume playback from a point in the middle of the movie and I can only start the file from beginning.

If anyone has been able to create a MEL file for 1917 that works properly on Plex please let me know how!

Yesterday I merged the 2 videos (using mkvtoolnix) of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and with mp4muxer (dual layer) for DoVi. I've played it on my LG TV via external HDD and the video stutters (laggy)

[baker99]

Slightly off topic, but say I want to convert dual layer files to single layer ones that will play on plex as a .ts, is the simplest way to use makemkv then use tsmuxer on the resulting mkv to make a ts?

Ideally I want a ts so I can play files on both plex (for convenience) and my X700 (for quality, assuming this process doesn't decrease that). I also want to maintain Atmos.

Edit: I may mean Dual track dual layer to single track, getting tired and confused after catching up on this thread!

Pretty much, but @RESET9999 may have the definitive answer on this, but I don't believe the x700 can play single track dual layer files.

[baker99]

Thanks shawnc22, I had thought the X700 playback could be an issue, guess I'll keep two versions of each file for now (I'm going to need to buy more hard drives!),

[RESET_9999]

The x700 supports most of the single-track / double-layer files. All the MEL movies work but some FEL movies don't work. Also the ST-DL files don't have the reboot bug.
I didn't find a dual-track / dual-layer file that doesn't work yet.

What do you guys do for multi disc dv movies on plex (lawrence of arabia, Lotr trilogy) ? When I use the naming format suggested by plex where you put bot both parts in the same folder and name them "part 1" and "part 2" it does combine both files but I lose the dv layer

[SamuriHL]

Merge them with mkvtoolnix.
