Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Hello again, I still have a question.
Why is it that when I extract the RPU.bin with the DoVi_tools script from a dvhe.05.06 profile, and add it to a BDRemux with HDR, it creates a dvhe.05.06 BL+RPU + HDR10 compatible profile, and not a dvhe.08.06 profile?
Thanks and regards

Because you can't just extract/inject the P5 RPU untouched into an HDR10 video. The rpu must be synced and converted to P8.
Check the tutorial videos.

Is there a good way to spot check whether a DV P5 video base layer and an HDR10 video have the same (or similar enough) light levels for the metadata to be compatible for the hybrid maker functionality?

Personally, I just compare the PQ images. I use MPV to export lossless png.
I might include a drag and drop mode for that in my next version.

Press S to get a lossless PQ PNG

Code: Select all

mpv.com --target-trc=pq --target-prim=bt.2020 --vo=gpu-next --gpu-context=d3d11  --screenshot-format=png --screenshot-png-compression=1 video.mkv

Thanks! That's really helpful. I ended up doing

Code: Select all

mpv --vo=gpu-next --target-trc=pq --target-prim=bt.2020 bd://mpls/800 --bluray-device=[path to blu-ray folder]

in one maximized window and

Code: Select all

mpv --vo=gpu-next --target-trc=pq --target-prim=bt.2020 [path to DV MP4]

in another.

That way I could quickly jump to a few different points in the movie, find the equivalent frame in the other window, and then flip back and forth to verify the brightness was the same.

Hello good afternoon and thank you very much for answering.
If by sync you mean putting the StaxRip checked difference frames between the HDR and DV track before extracting the RPU.bin from the DV P5, yes I do. If it doesn't sync like this I would be very grateful if you could tell me where I can find the tutorial video, because I have 5 tutorial videos but none for this function, and yesterday I started looking for it in the 449 pages of this post without finding it, thanks

where I can find the tutorial video

they are in my Dovi Scripts google drive folder(in my signature).

Hello RESET_999 if you mean the 6 videos you have, I already have them, I thought there was another video I hadn't seen to synchronize the RPU.bin.
My problem is that when I extract the RPU.bin from a 5 profile and then add it to a BDRemux, it creates a dvhe05.06 BL+RPU for me, and from what I have read it seems that the problem would be solved with this command:
"ffmpeg -i INPUT.mkv -c:v copy -vbsf hevc_mp4toannexb -f hevc - | dovi_tool -m 3 extract-rpu - -o RPU.bin". As I assume you know the "-m 3" makes a Profile 5 RPU compatible with Profile 8. I have looked for the command in DoVi_Scripts.bat editing it, to add the "-m 3" to the command, but have not found it.
I've been familiar with video editing for several decades, but CMD command lines have never been my thing.That's why I loved the dovi_scrpits and I am very grateful to you
Thank you very much for the help and greetings.

Well, if you really watched the video "P5 web-dl to Bluray remux.mkv", then you would know that you're not using the right mode/workflow.

As I said, the "Workflow.1= Read and extract RPU metadata" will export the RPU untouched. You have to use the "MODE.P5= Profile 5 to Profile 8 injector (HYBRID MAKER)"

[rkjnsn]

In case it's useful for anyone else, the following commands can be used to generate a list of shots from an RPU, which can be used to verify synchronization.

First, convert the RPU to json:

Code: Select all

dovi_tool export -i RPU.bin -o RPU.json

Second, use jq to get a list of frames that have the scene_refresh_flag set:

Code: Select all

jq "to_entries | .[] | select(.value.vdr_dm_data.scene_refresh_flag == 1) | .key" RPU.json > RPU-scene-frames.txt

The result with be a file with one (zero-based) frame number per line. Then I'll pick a few throughout the file, look at those frames in the video, and verify that each one is indeed the start of a new shot.

[RESET_9999]

@ rkjnsn that's great. thank you.
already added it in the scripts

Hello, good afternoon, I'm sorry, my mistake, too many video edits in a short time, and since I've been extracting several RPU.bin from P8, to inject them into BDReux, I kept having the same concept in my head, when I only had to do a simple : P5 web-dl to Bluray remux as you have reminded me, and as I have already done several times.
Thank you very much for the great work and the help you offer and a greeting.

I have used the Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 until now for my DV movies. I was aware of the red push issue, which was not ideal but acceptable, but somehow i have missed that the Shield did not use the EL of my FEL movies.

I have read this enormous thread and I understand that I need to use a UHD player to ensure that the fully detailed picture is sent to the TV. I am waiting for the Sony X800m2, which should arrive in a few days. I would like to have the flexibility of not needing the physical disc everything time i would like to see a DV FEL movie.

I have tried to follow RESET_9999's guide --> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0 for the x800m2, but i struggle a bit. I have made a full backup of my copy of 1917 with MakeMKV 1.16.7, but when i try to scan the the BDMV folder in MKVToolknix v68 I get no results. I drag the index.bdmw-file to multiplexer input and it starts to scan, but nothing is found. I have tried to drag the playlist folder to multiplexer input, but I get an error message that the XXXX.mpls are not recognized as supported format.

What have i missed?

Don't drag&drop the whole folder. You have to drag any MPLS file from the folder and mkvtoolnix will scan and find the playlists.
mkvtoolnix is slow though, you should use DGdemux, it is much faster. (this function is also included in my scripts: MODE.R ===> MODE.6)

Code: Select all

DGDemux.exe -d BDMV.path

Hello, good afternoon, I'm sorry, my mistake

Glad to see you have figured it out.

Thanks. Much, much easier. I guess the last part was not intended for me

Thanks. I have now found the playlist, but something is still wrong. I have now tried with 1917 & 13 Hours The secret soldiers of Benghazi.

When I drag the 00801.mpls (1917) and 00800.mpls (13 hours) to TSMuxer nothing happens. With the 13 hours playlist i get an error message stating "Can't detect stream type. File name "H:\Film backup\13 HOURS SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI\BDMV\PLAYLIST\00800.mpls". The H-drive is USB HDD. With the 1917 playlist i get a dialog box with no text (just a box with a white X on a red background). I get the same error messages, when done from my laptop HDD.

Do i need to use a specific version of the TSmuxer? I use the latest (Nightly build from 2022-06-02-03-18-48).
I rip the disc from Makemkv v 1.16.7. Should the backup be decrypted?
