Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Hmm so the x700 can't play that...
Is there any other way to play these files?

you just need to add the core back into TrueHD, nothing new and it's been explained many many times in this thread. . you can do that with eac3to or thdmerge.
or with my script:

Thanks. And I apologize as I didn't check this thread very often so there is a lot of info that I might miss.

Could you add also AAC/Opus 7.1 to DD 7.1 at 1024 kbps or 640 kbps. Oops it need DEE. i guess i will wait ffmpeg can do it.

Hello, I have such a problem.

I have a movie ripped from ISO to mkv

My LG G1 after converting it to MP4 only sees HDR I came across this topic and DoVi script. I' m familiar with the topic and it turns out that I need to convert the dovi dual layer (dvhe.07.06, BL + EL + RPU) to a single layer. I choose such options

and finally I get an error in accessing the file because it is in use by another process. I just don't know what file it could be because nothing else is running.
Only the file is created in the dovi folder

Am I doing something wrong?

[evilmatcher]

Yes the disc must be decrypted but some of the latest tsmuxer versions had issues with DV, so maybe that's the problem?
I stopped updating it and I use an older version in my dovi.scripts tool pack and I have no issue.

The x800m2 and TS combination works like a charm. Damn it’s easy I don’t know if it is relevant for your spreadsheet overview, but the x800m2 works very well with a synology NAS and the synology mediaserver. I couldn’t find the serviio app for my NAS, so i tried it and it couldn’t be easier to set up. Thanks for all the help.

Am I doing something wrong?

Not sure why it says that but as long as Uncharted_P8.hevc is in your output folder, you can ignore that warning. It looks like the script couldn't delete the TEMP folder.

[grimm]

Ok thanks for the info.
In the meantime, I figured out that the .hevc file is enough to run through MKVToolNix. It is a pity that the script does not mux at the end of the file .hevc to mkv / mp4, maybe it will be added in the next versions ...

that mode/workflows will never mux because I don't know which audio track/subtitles you want to keep.
If you want muxing, choose the mp4muxer modes.

Thank you RESET_9999 for packing up all the tools and creating the scripts to help automate common conversions.

I recently purchased an X800M2 for native Dolby Vision FEL playback. I have about 100 movies currently ripped with MakeMKV (1.15.3 or greater) to ST-DL Dolby Vision, TrueHD/Atmos (no AC3 Core), and PGS subtitle MKV files.

I am looking to convert these MKVs to DT-DL TS/M2TS with TrueHD/Atmos + Silent AC3 Core for FEL playback on the X800M2.

I can re-rip all of these from disc, but I think that will take a lot longer than doing conversions of the files I already have on my server.

Looks like I need to follow MODE.P7->MODE.3->Workflow.2 with each MKV file to get DT-DL video and the THD+AC3 audio file I need and then use tsMuxer to mux the pieces back together.

Is there a better workflow I should follow?

No, that's the correct workflow you want to use.

I still have some friends with the older 6-series LG OLED models and it seems they only play DV from MP4.
TS/M2TS doesn't work for these models.
Also the same limitations like only lossy audio supported (e)ac3 and no PGS subs (if that's even supported for MP4 containers).
External .srt work.
Tested using both Plex and Emby.

So I guess if you're sharing your videos over internet with Plex or Emby (and they don't exceed bitrate of 100mbit), Profile 8 with MP4/eac3 and external subs is most compatible across all devices.
Also I've been comparing FEL with MEL (profile and the difference aint that much for most titles.

It's only too bad mp4muxer is such a slow application compared to TSMuxer.
I hope in the future somebody could optimize it a bit (making use of multiple threads for example).

[Mattl0]

Ho do you know guys what level (l1-l2-l9 etc) the dolbyvision player or sink is able to decode and transmit/or play?

Here I have a lg c1…. With sony x800m2 .

I guess the sony may not be able to decode all the level?

I didn’t hear about those levels exept here 2 years ago or less

[deadchip12]

Today when I mux an mkv file that has DD+ track into ts file, the audio and video of that ts file is out of sync. Other similar mkv files with DD+ track don't have this problem, only this particular file. So weird. Does anyone know a fix?

Yup mp4 usually works better, sync with DD+ audio. DV works perfectly in my TV. TrueHD not supported also with direct usb play.
Sometimes external PGS subs can be work together but must be using simple name like Ambulance 2022.mp4 and the subs with PGS is Ambulance 2022.sup with default external SRT or ASS subtitle for several (ENG use SRT, LOCAL languange using ASS, etc).
Try other muxer using Subler for Mac, that Dolby Vision/Atmos mp4 m4v muxer compatible other than Dolby software, but only works at mac/hackintosh. Maybe faster...
All my test TS result for usb TV direct playing still have outsync problem. Don't know why.

I found an error in the script.

Running MODE.H->MODE.1->Workflow.1

This generates a P8 file from an HDR10 movie using MadVR.

If I use an MKV as a source the script runs correctly.

If I use a .TS file as source the scripts has multiple errors. Looks like it may not be demuxing the HEVC track correctly or something. I get a 0 byte HEVC as output.

This is with both v1.3.6 and v1.3.7.
