Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[Amused]

Thanks! I went through the lengthy process but got an error at the end. Any suggestions?

thats just "the script has completed" popup msg that didnt work. you can ignore that.

Thanks! I tried to mux the 3 files afterwards (BL, EL and audio), but txmuxer failed to complete the job. Multiple hours lost unfortunately.

I have one more question, when I try to watch a DV FEL movie through a full BD structure - BDMV folder - Stream folder (ripped through MakeMKV, placed in the root folder of an external HDD, played on the Sony X700), the video and audio play fine, I can use FF-RW etc. However, when I hit the “display” button on the X700 remote, it reports only HDR, whereas the tv reports it’s getting Dolby Vision. Looks to me as if the X700 player is only getting HDR10 and then injecting DV metadata and sending it like that to the tv.

Is there something I’m doing wrong here?

Many thanks!

are you using the latest nightly tsmuxer?
as for BDMV playback, did you remux in tsmuxer to BDMV?

sounds like you're not using the right tsmuxer.

Nope, I didn't use the version of tsmuxer that you linked, I used some other vesion that I found online. My bad obviously.

As for BDMV, do you mean to import the main m2ts file from the BDMV/Stream folder and then remux it in tsmuxer back to BDMV? If yes, which output should I select in tsmuxer: Bue Ray folder or AVCHD folder?

yes you can take the largest m2ts or the mpls file corresponding the to the main movie. You can find the right playlist with the script (MODE.M ===> MODE.4).
select "bluray folder" as output.

Got it, will try and report back

It worked! I remuxed a ripped BDMV through tsmuxer nightly into a BDMV output. When copied on an external HDD and played through the X700, it shows it as “AVCHD”. The Dolby Vision logo appears when the “display” button on the X700 remote is pressed, which means it can read the metadata.

Thank you for your assistance!

Just one more question, if I remux an MKV file to dual track dual layer files (BL, EL and audio) through your script, can I also use tsmuxer to export it as Blu Ray folder (in order to get the possibility of FF/RW)? Can I also add additional subtitles through the process? Many thanks again

I disagree, the difference is not marginal and this is exactly the kind of difference i was expecting. Of course it wont be as drastic as in the patterns because L2 works properly.

Hmm how should I view these comparison photos correctly then? I'm looking at them on my sdr monitor. I guess in hdr the difference will be more obvious, but how do I view them in hdr on my c9 oled?

You dont need an internet connection at all to stream local rip, btw. The wifi is fast enough but i use an usb to giagbit ethernet adaptor.

Ah ok so it depends on the router's speed? Is there a guide on how to stream local rip from pc to PLEX internal app on lg oled?

Ok, I did another comparison. I can say for sure that there IS a difference between the internal player and the x800m2 with the MEL DV Spears and Munsil clip.
The internal player clearly pushes red and yellow more
...
In some scenes, the brightness is exactly the same, in some other scenes it's a bit darker, and in other scenes, it's brighter which points to the L1 issue, I think.

Now that's interesting that sometimes the Sony is brighter with this clip!
I'm not sure whether the 10k nits version of this clip is valid for testing because it's not representative for real content (let alone there's no 10k nits grading monitors, so who knows what he saw at the time of grading), I think the 4000 nits version is better for that, although it's interesting to see how the TV handles this particular version.

now, which one is correct? I still don't know but I'll compare a lot more content this way.

Good question! And thank You for your hard work with this topic!

I upscaled the screenshot to 2160p by mistake because this is how my madvr is configured. So if you check the comparison on a small 1080p monitor, the image is so big that the brightness difference is less obvious.
here I downscaled to 900p:

I recommend using this adaptor instead of the wifi, especially if your router is far away from the TV.

You just have to set up a plex server on your PC and install the plex app on your TV. it's very easy and user-friendly.

True, and I'll check a lot more "1000/4000nits" content with this comparison method.
I think the red/yellow push is the bigger difference between the old cmv2.9 and the new cmv4.0 device and this is something I noticed right away with the Shield years ago when it was released.

It looks great when the movie is properly graded but when the grade is a bit too hot, it sure looks more wrong on the internal C2 player.

anyway, a lot more comparison coming up

i have got The Craft UHD and this one when i use the MP4 option it seems to choose the wrong audio format, the movie has a DTS-HD Master 5.1 and a 2 CH and it seems to only choose the 2 channel

Hi,
please try 1.4.8, should be fixed.

I should not have added non-English audio support, it complicated everything...

The wifi is fast enough but i use an usb to giagbit ethernet adaptor.

Which adapter do you use? I’m intrigued that it works on x800m2, I tried one of the x700 and it just came up saying that the device wasn’t supported - guessing they run different OSes maybe?

I can give it a try on my x800m2 and report back if it works.

@RESET_9999 I moved your Dovi Scripts to a new external SSD, and now something is preventing it from working properly.

It gives the following error:

'D:\DoVi_Scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Invalid MKV
Press any key to continue . . .

Any suggestions how to fix this? I tried changing the Enviroment Variables, but it didn't help.

EDIT: The problem was because the Dovi Scripts folder was within a folder on the external drive. I placed the folder into the root of the external SSD and it works properly now.
