In the end it’s just a convenient container, maybe one day there are players supporting it in mkv. In the meantime you can at least enjoy the RPU on shield/appletv.
You can easily remux it, although I’ve found some data loss in my journey remuxing between formats, so for me personally I will stay with full copy bdmv/iso for now.
The loss happens in makemkv as shown in the pictures posted in a reply to you. Not in tsmuxer!!
makemkv just doesn't like the tsmuxer files but it doesn't matter because by making a DT-DL TS/M2TS file you have a full copy in which you can go back to ISO / ST-DL mkv(yusesope) / P8 without any loss...

anyway, What you discovered is a good thing to know...

tsmuxer to makemkv = breaks EL

nop, appletv does fake DV with uhdbd rip regardless of the container profile. it only supports DV genuine P5 and P8.4 HLG BL.

Hi,

Sorry to barge into the discussion, and I'm a newbie on this stuff, and I'm just very curious about something (and very confused at the same time).

These dvhe.07.06 MKV remux files with BL+RPU+EL that are floating around, what can actually play them to their full extent? (and by full extent I mean including FEL and TrueHD Atmos). I'm asking because, as far as I know, the players that fully support profile 7 are the Blu-Ray disc players (and the clones), and (AFAIK, please do correct me if necessary) those don't play MKV's at all. So I don't quite understand who is the target of these remuxes. Hints?

Cheers
some unstable Chinese android boxes can play fel mkv with atmos. I'm sure in the future , there will be one that works.

Those should be the the
- Ugoos AM6 Plus
- Minix Neo U22-XJ (with Ugoos firmware)

Both share the Amlogic S922X-J which does FEL with it being limited to (32bit) Kodi builds by Maven for DV and HD-Audio passthrough.https://repo.kodinerds.net/index.php?ac ... meabi-v7a)

I have the Ugoos AM6 Plus but I find it very buggy player for Dolby Vision. Eventhough it has a 2nd decoder for FEL, up to this day I haven't been able to watch a full DV movie without A/V stuttering or having to restart playback because of hanging. Frustrating. It's now left hooked up to a full HD TV elsewhere with CoreElec OS. It'll probably stay that way.

Sadly, no. At least not the version I installed some time ago. I gave up on the DV playback. When I read about this USB thing to make dualboot possible, I gave it a go. CoreElec has proven stable and responsive.

I see some groups are making DV hybrids where the web-dl and UHD BluRay are not matching on Display Aspect Ratio.

Example with Onward
WEB-DL: 2.40:1
UHD BluRay: 16:9
Hybrid result: 16:9

In the awesome dolby vision tool from RESET_9999 it states "both videos must have the same aspect ratio otherwise DV wont be accurate".
Is there a solution to change the aspect ratio? or is it just to change the L5 active area?
Sorry if i sound a bit confused :D

UHD BD are only 16:9 because they encode the black bars in the video so you just have to set a proper L5 active area just like I did in the video.

I meant when both videos has a different letterbox. EG, IMAX vs non-imax video. see this post: viewtopic.php?p=114950#p114950

instead of answering always the same question over and over, I made an excel sheet resuming pretty much everything that works or not.
