Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[kazuma]

the first post don't work anymore on my C9. what are the steps to this way? can you explain? why switched from profile 7 to profile 8?

where do i find mp4muxer 1.1 and mp4box 1.1?

on the C9, forget about the mp4 container. Tsmuxer is your new bestfriend.
https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/releases

mp4muxer(v1.1) -i dv.hevc -i atmos.ec3 --dv-profile 8 --dv-bl-compatible-id 1 -o dv_audio.mp4
mp4box(v1.1) -add dv_audio.mp4#video -add dv_audio.mp4#audio:lang=eng -add sub.srt:lang=ger:txtflags=0xC0000000 -new test.mp4
[/code]
be the right command?

I see that you edited your post. --dv-bl-compatible-id does not work with the old mp4muxer. It was implemented later.

i have tsmuxer. what are the steps from now? do you have a post earlier? i'm searching in this topic but it's not easy. what are you meaning with leaving mp4? what works now?

mux your profile 8 and profile 5 files to TS or M2TS.
extract the original SRT subtitles and place them in the same folder with the same filename:
A.Movie.2022.DV.ts
A.Movie.2022.DV.ENG.srt
A.Movie.2022.DV.ENG.FORCED.srt

Then play in PLEX. Make sure you don't have any PGS or TrueHD audio selected before playing the file otherwise you'll get HDR10.
The C9 still has a DTS decoder I think. so you'll only have to convert TrueHD to DDP (or use the ac3 core, you can extract it with tsmuxer)

also check out the script in my signature. There are automated workflows for profile 7 MKV and BD input.

thanks, but unfortunately this is to complex for me. i don't use plex. i stick my usb hdd in my tv and play. can you explain the steps how to make a mp4 file with command? that was back in the days the easiest way for me. but it seems to be i'm forgot how to do it. the startpost doesn't seems to work anymore.

or is there a easier way beside your post to play with my usb hdd?

[RESET_9999]

Everything I just said also works for USB playback.
You can play ST profile 7 files this way too but some movies will stutter or give you a black screen.

mp4 container method is more complicated. Tsmuxer is the easiest method

Thanks for your reply. I'm a little shaming to ask this, but how i'm muxing profile 8 and 5?

I never did this. I think i need a little help. I've downloaded the latest tsmuxer nighty of your link.

Well, what is your input? profile 7 mkv rip from makemkv?
if yes, then all you have to do is to remux it with tsmuxer. Select the video, AC3, EAC3 or DTS/DTSHD, uncheck the subtitles and mux. As I said , some files will give you a black screen or stutter but most should work.
If you want subtitles, then extract the SRT subs with mkvextrack and rename them as I said previously.

now for the files that won't play or stutter, you can use the script in my signature. It's very easy, just extract the script on your pc, and click on the bat file. select 4-2-3 and drag and drop your P7 mkv.
this will get you a profile 8 + EAC3 file that will ALWAYS work on your TV.

Sorry, I thought it wasn't right for mp4muxer v.1.0.1, now I see from your script it's mp4muxer 1.0 you guys used.
Sorry for been stupid, I have never used version below 1.0.1, and I have edited the command line again

Code: Select all

mp4muxer -i dv.hevc -o dv.mp4
mp4box -add dv.mp4 -add audio.eac3:lang=eng -add sub.srt:lang=ger:txtflags=0xC0000000 -new test.mp4

Feel so bad for wasting you guys time

I'm gonna try tonight. But there is no tsmuxer.exe with the latest version. How do you start tsmuxer gui? how do i make profile 7 rip with makemkv?

update: the dovi_script cannot find a dolby vision layer in the mkv. but it is there. what i'm doing wrong?

[sofakng]

Any updates on the CMv2.9 bug on the newer LG TVs?

which mode/workflow did you use? post the mediainfo of your input please

I will compare more movies this weekend, but I'm 99% sure that using the internal player renders better quality (regarless of FEL and lossless audio).
Not only L1 works properly but the colors have a lot more pop.(https://youtu.be/dupNfI8vkPk)
I'll upload the comparisons on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEYM1g ... gPuyd4JL_g

Thanks for the information. I should have mentioned I was asking about FEL playback which the LG C1 cannot play.

I've placed an order (but cancelled) an order for the Oppo-203 clone and also returned the Sony x800m2 because of that bug and I was wondering if any playback method existed w/o any bugs (for the LG C1).

i have downloaded a mkv remux of game of thrones episode. if i drag this file to your dovi script, it says no DV found. so i've mux the file with tsmuxer (not the tsmuxer of your link because there is no .exe?) to .ts with the baselayer, dvlayer and truehd. then i've dragged this to your doviscript program, but there is no dv file found.

i'm doing wrong, but what? can you please explain me in steps?

Sounds like your file is dual-track DV (hdr layer + 1080p dv layer) which is not supported in MKV. I see that rarbg did that instead of Single track P7.

So what you have to do is:

1- Remux the mkv to bluray folder output with tsmuxer ( select only video 1 + 2, AC3).... uncheck TrueHD!
2- Then in my script use: 4-1-3 Go in the new bluray folder, drag and drop the MPLS file ( playlist folder) two times (first-time scan all the playlists, 2nd-time process the movie).

Nop, it doesnt exist
I would say the Shield is the closest of doing it right but because of the red push, it ruins everything.
