For LG TVs (at least this is the case with my C8), we have to use the old mp4muxer/mp4box combo(the ones in my tool pack) otherwise DV is not triggered.

Code: Select all

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Another interesting thing regarding the "complexity index",
on Windows Movies & TV:
`ffmpeg -i atmos(7.1).eac3 -c copy` (breaks complexity index) shows 6 channel:

`mp4box -add atmos(7.1).ec3` (breaks complexity index) shows 2 channel:

`mp4muxer -i atmos(7.1).ec3` (fix/restore complexity index) shows 8 channel:

The atmos(7.1).ec3 is from 00003.m2ts Dolby demo
And although I believe I do it right, the atmos(7.1).ec3 is unplayable on Apple. (normal atmos(5.1).ec3 will be fine)

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
interesting.
I'll try that file on my TV because no matter the 7.1 EC3 track i encode in DEE, it doesnt work even though my TV edid list that it support DD+ 7.1.
7.1 DD+ track with an ac3 core = I think my TV only plays the core because my avr reports PCM and Dolby Surround which means(i think) my AVR is upmixing 5.1 to 7.1
7.1 DD+ without core = AVR reports DD+ 7.1 but the audio is messed up.
on the x800m2:
7.1 DD+ track with an ac3 core = avr and x800m2 reports DD+ 7.1 and plays fine.
7.1 DD+ without core = AVR reports DD+ 7.1 but the audio is messed up.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
on the C9, forget about the mp4 container. Tsmuxer is your new bestfriend.
https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/releases
I see that you edited your post. --dv-bl-compatible-id does not work with the old mp4muxer. It was implemented later.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
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.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
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.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 10:17 pmmux your profile 8 and profile 5 files to TS or M2TS.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
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?RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 10:17 pmmux your profile 8 and profile 5 files to TS or M2TS.

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

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
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.
https://www.videohelp.com/software/Inviska-MKV-Extract
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.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
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.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 9:57 pmI see that you edited your post. --dv-bl-compatible-id does not work with the old mp4muxer. It was implemented later.
Sorry for been stupid, I have never used version below 1.0.1, and I have edited the command line again
