So keeping L5 with zeroes is always better.The Bitstream Verifier parses the RPU of the bitstream under test and verifies whether level 5 metadata is present for each frame.
Level 5 metadata must be present (even if it is zero) to avoid possible visual issues.
If level 5 metadata is not detected in the bitstream RPU, an error is issued.

REM ReadMe Notes:
REM *************
REM This batch file measures automatically all video files in various drives and shares. Your network shares simply have to be mapped as drives in windows.
REM You need to edit the path to MadMeasureHDR, and of course the paths to the shares or files extentions you want to measure.
REM In this example, the first three blocks measure all my .mkv, .mp4 and .ts in the folder that contains all my 4K HDR test files.
REM The next block measures all the files I've put in a special MadMeasureHDR folder in my 4K Movies share, so that they are measured before all the others
REM The last block measures all the files in my 4K Movies share
REM To get the output of MadMeasureHDR both to the screen and to a log file (same_name.txt), I use a free utility called Wintee (wtee.exe)
REM You can download it here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/wintee/
REM Then simply copy it into your c:\Windows directory so that the batch file can find it when it calls it
REM The main advantage is that you can get both near realtime progress while the measurements are made, and a log file containing the output of the MadMeasureHDR utility
REM The main downside is that the progress isn't updated as often as without using Wintee.
REM If you want to get rid of the log file, simply delete the end of the command line: | wtee "%%f.txt" in each block
REM By default, this batch file only shows the log of the files it measures.
REM If you get an error and don't know which file it relates to, or if you would like to display all the scanned files, simply set verbose to "ON" below.
REM Happy measurements!
REM Manni
set pathToMadMeasure="C:\Dolby-Vision-Tools\madVR\madMeasureHDR.exe"
REM Set verbose to ON to display files checked when measurements already exists. Leave it to OFF to only display files that are measured.
set verbose="ON"

set pathToVideos=C:\Remux\

This is the tool advertised as possible to create measurement files for ISOs or BDMV folders is to first play the file from start to finish.
But I can't run it.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I didn't mean: ''follow the instructions here'', I already did that, according to your information.
I meant: copy and paste the code I posted into your bat file and try, it should work. It works on my end.
I don't know but there are a couple of examples on the github page...Albano wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 7:54 pm@RESET_9999

I did not test these but from what I can read :
bd folder :
Code: Select all
madmeasurer.exe -d0 -vv -m --measure-all-playlists --dry-run C:\BD.folders
Code: Select all
madmeasurer.exe -vv -m -d1 --dry-run -i C:\bd.iso

- 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.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
- Single Track, Dual Layer FEL working?
- Fast Forwarding with just TS file?
I guess Single Track Dual Layer FEL is not working from MKV right?
Thanks

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
1- yes but just like the x700 and oppo. Some random ST-DL wont play while all the DT-DL files will play.
2- I don't know, I only watch DV TS files. The x700 has a bug when movies are very long, you cant FF/RW. The x800m2 doesn't have this bug( at least with the 4h30 movie I tested).
3- right, existing bluray players will never support DV in an MKV container.
1- the x800m2 has a 5GHZ wifi chip so it's actually faster than the 100mbps ethernet port. I just watched Dead Heat 92mbps avg bitrate(streamed from my PC) and it didn't buffer one time. My router is in the same room as my player though: the 5ghz range is not as good as 2ghz.deadchip12 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 12:55 am1- how do you play high bitrate movies over wifi?

2- nop it doesn't work via USB: only works via the network. Maybe the behavior is the same for the X700, I never used the network, thanks to the slow ethernet/wifi speed.
I can't recommend the x700 anymore when the x800m2 is a LOT superior. Actually better than the oppo too(I hate BD folders/iso storage) because there's no dual track dual-layer TS bug .
keep in mind that I watched hundreds of DV movies with my x700 without a single playback issue (except the known bugs) and watched only one movie with the x800m2 so maybe some other issue will come up.

Too bad the x800 is not even sold in my country. Actually the x700 is the only 4k bluray player from a reputable brand sold in my country. The bluray player market is so dead here. Can't find any uhd physical disc either. I have to download 4k hdr films (either the full bmdv folder or remuxed mkv) from shady sites otherwise I won't be able to watch those films at all.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
my windows videos and music library (DLNA) just show up on my x800m2.
I use classic windows media player to create a playlist of recent movies I have to watch otherwise it can be a pain to find 1 movie out of 1000+
You can also make a windows SERVIIO server which is also detected by the player

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Thank you very much for all the info and please do keep us up-to-date with any other issues or good experiences as you watch more. I'm very tempted now to get one and the only thing really holding me back is the thought of transcoding my MKVs back to M2TS!RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 1:38 amkeep in mind that I watched hundreds of DV movies with my x700 without a single playback issue (except the known bugs) and watched only one movie with the x800m2 so maybe some other issue will come up.

Muxing, I hope.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Oh yes, quite right
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Can I ask (I promised I searched the thread first, but couldn't find an answer) does the X800M2 handle profile 8.1 DV well? I was looking through my collection to see if I could stomach remuxing the DV titles and noticed that I have more profile 8.1 hybrids than profile 7 rips at this point (thanks Disney!)
