Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Well, then, if a mkv file uses CMv4.0, a device that only supports CMv2.9 couldn't process all the improvements of the EL layer, only the ones compatible with the CMv2.9. So that, the picture looks worse than it is, loosing all the improvements coded in L3/L8. That's right?

And a final question, the difference in image quality between a full process with CM4.0 source and a CMv4.0 source playingback compatible CMv2.9 in a device that only supports v2.9 is remarkable or subtle?

No, it would not look worse because L1 is the same.
L8 is just an improved(i suppose) version of L2 and in the end, shouldn't really look different even though each metadata works differently than L2.
The point of trim passes is that the movie looks roughly the same on every TV regardless of its capabilities.

Thanks again for your clear answer.
I was wondering if there's an other concept/compatibility to be aware to asure a correct playback of DV content

Hi DonaldFaQ .
I love your tools also. I usually use DDVT_DEMUXER to fix different cropped RPU vs Video. Especially when the mp4muxer muxed with mismatch rpu pixels range, the video played will be quenched upside down. https://github.com/DolbyLaboratories/dl ... e/issues/7

The last time i use 0.43, I can't got mp4 from mkv with DDVT_MKVTOMP4 properly
Still use mkvcleaver to extract and remux with Dolby mp4remux

BTW, I just got DV 7 video.
It is john wick 2014. Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
The tv doesn't like with DV7 mp4 container, and the mp4muxer doesn't seem support DV7 also.

I use RESET_9999 Dovi_Script and DonaldFaq Dovi_tool to convert to DV8 and remuxit with mp4muxer from Dolby github.

Looks like it want copy to c:, it needs administrator since copy to main folder. why cant be temp folder instead.

Question for DonaldFaq:
1. If the DV7 mkv extracted using DDVT_DEMUXER with crop off by default. i got rpu.bin that different range (rpu has 280x) as video range (0px)
so i got restarted again with DDVT_DEMUXER, crop on right?
2. When i got the rpu.bin it should be same folder as input mkv right, by using DDVT_INJECTOR to get mkv DV8, right?
3. What the best for budget DV TV: DV 8.1 or DV 8 HLG format from DV7 mkv.


Regards both of you. Thank you for the tools.

oops, the menu order is messed up. you don't need python for that workflow
will fix it in the next version soon.

Hi Reset! First of all, thanks for all your time and effort maintaining these tools and educating the forum.
...

I would also like to join in thanking RESET_9999 for his time and effort!!!
Really appreciate everything you’ve done and do.

And I am still struggling with my mkv to mp4 conversion)

you're welcome!

Did you try the latest version (1.5.2)?

Tried with v1.5.3 (thx again for updating it!)
With the whole file got the same mistake as above. Smth about “enough space”.
But using small cut sample from that file everything works fine!

So maybe there is a need of additional free space. A question is of what size.

Well of course, the drive you put the script folder on must have enough space. It needs at least two times the size of the input file.

Hello,

First of all excuse me for my English, I'm not English speaking at the base
I need your help .. I read many many pages on this forum but I remain in misunderstanding:
I'm trying to extract DV data from an MKV file, like this: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
and reinject them into an MKV file that only contains HDR10 data, like this: SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible

Can someone give me the step by step I need to do? With what software or scripts, step by step like I was 8 years old lol

I've been trying to do this for months

Thanks a lot !

[rophel]

anyone seen any weird drastic brightness "flickering" after HDR10+ to DV? So far it's only on Nomadland, but both me an a friend converted it separately and have the same result. Basically the scene is panning across and it jumps up and down brightness dramatically in the DV version for a split second, but it is not present in the HDR layer when I view the same video on a non-DV display.

I noted down 1:06:40 in Nomadland where you can see it clearly.

Anything I should try as a fix?

[quietvoid]

Clearly the file you're using as source has incorrect metadata order.
Nothing you can do other than having access to the original retail source for the HDR10+ metadata.

Best way is convert to dvhe 08.06 or hdr10 compatible with rpu. the profile 8.1 is compatible with mkv / mp4 container for hdr10 tv.
It already tested with donaldfaq DDVT tool above. https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=183479
maybe also can done it reset999 Dovi_script revised one (i will tested later).

First download donalfaq DDVT tools above
drag mkv to the DDVT_DEMUXER.cmd to extract RPU.bin (can be cropped or not, if it DDVT_INJECTOR later said rpu pixel mismatch with video, use cropped by press 5)
export as profile DV8.1 by press 4 if not
press S to Start extraction and convert rpu

Code: Select all

 == SETTINGS ==

SAVE HDR BL         : [NO]
SAVE DoVI EL        : [NO]
SAVE RPU            : [YES]
CONVERT RPU         : [PROFILE 8.1 HDR]
CROP RPU            : [YES]

you will have rpu.bin in sub folder [extracted]
copy rpu.bin in sub folder into same folder as mkv file, the folder will be have mkv and rpu.bin for dv8.1
drag mkv to DDVT_INJECTOR.cmd to create 8.1 mkv
make sure it match pixels with rpu

Code: Select all

 ==  VIDEO INPUT ==
Video Info = [Resolution = 3836x1600] [Codec = HEVC-10Bit-YUV-4:2:0] [Frames = 145630] [FPS = 23.976]
HDR Info   = [Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible]
Borders    = [LEFT=0 px], [TOP=0 px], [RIGHT=0 px], [BOTTOM=0 px] [MATCH WITH RPU]

 == RPU INPUT ==

Filename   = [RPU.bin]
RPU Info   = [DV Profile = 8] [CM Version = 2.9] [Frames = 145630]
Borders    = [LEFT=0 px], [TOP=0 px], [RIGHT=0 px], [BOTTOM=0 px] [MATCH WITH VIDEO]

match L6 by press 2 for YES. (well i assume it needed)
create MKV directly by muxing all stream and converted 8.1 video by press 4 for YES
press S to start.

If you want to remove DV completely use DDVT_REMOVER
Drag the mkv file to DDVT_REMOVER.cmd and remove Dolby Vision metadata to yes

Code: Select all

Video Info = [Resolution = 3836x1600] [Codec = HEVC-10Bit-YUV-4:2:0] [Frames = 145630] [FPS = 23.976]
HDR Info   = [Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible]

Remove Dolby Vision Metadata : [YES]

press S to start.

3. What the best for budget DV TV: DV 8.1 or DV 8 HLG format from DV7 mkv.

*1 if you demux a P7 single layer file, you have 2 options. First, you can save the RPU only and you can crop this RPU if u will. Second, you can save the BL and the EL layer (or only BL, or only EL). If you save both layers you can build a UHD with TS-Muxer for example. If you crop the RPU and extract that binary, the RPU in the EL layer will be untouched.. Only the own extracted RPU will be edited.

*2 Yes right. If the RPU.bin in the same folder as the input file, RPU inject options will triggered. If a EL.hevc in the same folder, P7 mux settings will be triggered. if a custom.json file in the same folder, this script will be processed during the mux process. Attention! All settings from the custom.json script will be processed BEFORE the intern tool scripts processed.

*3 I don't know. I have an LG OLED TV with a Nvidia Shield pro as player and using HDR + P8. FEL Layers obsolete because no media player supports FEL playback. Exception the Oppo Player (or the clone) with files in ISO format. With this combi you can watch P7 FEL. All other players i know playbacks only MEL .

Hi, I added P7 support in Mode.I (1) in DoVi_Scripts_1.5.4.
You can Re-sync, Crop, Edit L5 (manual or auto).

[ArArdin]

Thanks @RESET_9999 for the continuous work on the scripts.

Not having used them for a while, latest version (1.5.4) seems to reject work/destination folder with spaces in its name (or path). Is this by design?

Possibly, I never work with output or temp path that contains space or special characters so I never really test that.
I'll check it out. thanks!


EDIT: yes I know why, there are unnecessary " " for the output and temp path.
This will take a while to fix but I will.

[ArArdin]

Thanks for checking. No worries, no hurries.
