Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I agree with @jayper ... The easiest solution is txMuxer.
DV MP4 only gives me issues on my C8 internal player and Shield( stutter and audio hiccup).

I'm new here, sorry if I ask a question that maybe has already been answered, but I can't find a way to do what I want, so I'm probably not looking at the right styff...
I have a DV MP4 file working fine via USB on my LG oled. Point is I want to add another audio track/different language to it.
How do I do that? Which program can I use to remux the MP4 correctly with the added track...?

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

It depends on what you want the resulting filetype to be. If you're looking for a ts, m2ts, ISO, Blu-ray folder you can use TS-Muxer.

If you're looking for an MKV, you should use ffmpeg to convert the mp4 to an mkv and then you can use MKVToolNix to multiplex the new audio track with the MKV you created with ffmpeg.

I move away from MP4s, so I can recommend anything if you're looking to keep the file as an MP4. Others will need to weigh in.

Tsmuxer (latest nightly version) won't open the MP4 file. Don't know why. As said the file is played perfectly fine on the LG. I thought that if I convert the file I'd lose the Dolby Vision? Will it retain the Dolby Vision track if I convert it to mkv with ffmpeg?

yep, some mp4 wont work in tsmuxer but the solution is easy. Remux the mp4 to mkv with mkvtoolnix and then to TS with tsmuxer.

Extracting the video stream with FFMpeg will preserve the dolby vision profile. MP4Muxer should be able to take multiple audio streams, but I have not tested that. I would extract the video file you want as well as any audio tracks and use MP4Muxer to put them back together. I have scripts in my signature that would be able to help. Would only need slight modification.

this has been happening to me only as of the latest update as well, hopefully it's resolved with the next rollup update. I switched back to the SHIELD because the CCwGTV has stuttering too on DV (maybe mp4 only who knows) content with it's latest update

I just practiced remux WEB-DL P5 to Blu-ray on Arrival movies in my computer.
However, my remove frame result is a negative number, not a positive number like yours.
So what should I do next?

Thanks for your helping.
After many tries, I found out that, only convert PRU P5 to P8.2, can't convert P5 to P8.1 or P8.6 by dovi_tool.
The reason is because P5 use YCbCr color space while P8.1 and P8.6 use BT2020 color space.
Only Colorfront Transkoder tool is able to convert PRU P5 to P8.1 or P8.6.
It's definitely a high end feature requiring licensing Dolby Vision technology.
Netflix mention that particular software here: Dolby Vision HDR Mastering

I mean if you only have one DV P5 file, you can't creat one DV P8.1 or DV P8.6 file.

ha you're talking about the conversion of profile 5 videos (IcTcP colorspace) to PQ YCBCR and not the RPU itself.
The dovi_tool is not a video encoder, it only converts the RPU to 8.1. not the video

Due to some hardware compatibility issues, I had to go back to Windows 7.
Of course, when I go back to Windows 7, I won't be able to use D3D11 anymore, so I should choose DXVA2 (native) or DXVA2 (copy-back) for best measureHDR quality result?

I'm no lav filter expert but I think these settings only affect performance and not the quality.

Just bought an X800m2 ...

- High bitrate movie via 5GHZ wifi works flawlessly (tested Dead Heat 92mbps avg bitrate and peak over 100mbps all the time)
- This player is not affected by the tsmuxer dual-track dual-layer bug, no green/purple screen issue.. WOW!!!
- This player auto-switch from DV, HDR10, and SDR with TS/M2TS files WOW!!! (only via the network)
- FF / RW works for long movies. great!!
- cropped DV content displayed with grey letterbox
- DD+ with an empty core doesn't play but strangely DD+ Atmos works perfectly.

hopefully, it's as stable as the x700 for DV playback, I will watch some movies this weekend.




Dead Heat bitrate:

Thanks for your reply. How do we know which one is DV P7 and which one is DV P8? As for mkv file, can't I just remux it to bmdv format and then the x700 will be able to play it with atmos?

The easiest method for me is to play an mkv file in MPC-BE and look at the file properties. The MediaInfo tab shows the DV info, e.g., dvhe.07.06 for P7. That's the format ID for Dolby Vision / HEVC video / Profile 7 / Layer 6.

P8 commonly shows dvhe.08.06.

You can also install MediaInfo directly or I think the mkvtoolnix header editor GUI tool might show it.

For P7 you can remux to BDMV format, and for P8 you can remux to m2ts/ts, and play it on the X700 with Atmos support.

I just haven't gotten P8 in BDMV to work reliably, and we can't currently convert P8 to P7 as there's no way to generate an EL.
