Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[mulucy]

The new Fire TV Stick came out today - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MQZXN1X/re ... CB5HMB36RE. Wonder if the new GPU/CPU supports more DV profiles lol

I've preordered one for AV1, but the speed upgrade is welcomed.
Any Dolby Vision improvement is a bonus to me.

I tried to find some information about the CPU, but found nothing. Very strange...

Good stuff, pretty much the same DV support. Thank you!

I've converted the profile 7 to profile 5 DV using mp4muxer.

Black Widow UHD + P5 = the same exact source/fames/time stamps = all match exactly

@ quietvoid
L2 meta keep coming out weird.
But on the xml it seem to be correct well (not 100% sure it’s correct.)
What could be the reason for this?
Just curious if u got any insight on this from others ellse were

So far I get a perfect l1DV meta match from resolve min-average-max are all correct
For spares & munsil compare to the original

I don't know, I've mentioned that the L2 doesn't always match in the RPU.
My only test samples are Netflix's encoded streams, and the corresponding CMv2.9 XML.
Sometimes it's fine, sometimes the values are different.

I wonder if the monitor I’m using plays a part, I’ll try & find out.

Could someone give me information about profile 4 vs profile 8?
As far as i know
Profile 4 supports enhancement layer but base layer is SDR compatible
Profile 8 is HDR compatible but doesnt support enhancement layer

My tv is lg g1 and internal plex app can play both profiles (p4 st dl/dt dl and p8 st sl). Why are we focusing on converting FEL movies to profile 8 instead of profile 4? I have made only one movie so far with both profiles and they looked like same to me.

Because you're not actually converting anything when using profile 4, just changing the container.
Profile 4 is not compatible with HDR10 video such as UHD discs.

Is profile 5 just dynamic tonemapping metadata in a proprietary color space? So nothing unique in the experience really over a profile 8.1 file (assuming bitrate equal)? Or does profile 5 have specific 12bit color info in it like a profile 7 FEL?

Profile 5 includes reshaping metadata and some different flags/values for the color space.
Otherwise the actual dynamic metadata should be the same.

The reshaping process recreates the YCbCr image, with supposedly close to 12 bits equivalent info.

The reshaping process recreates the YCbCr image, with supposedly close to 12 bits equivalent info.

How does that work when only profile 4 and 7 are FEL capable?
