yes, the renaming is to deal with special characters and mkvmerge but indeed I forgot about the path.

Will correct in the next version but the code should be:


Code: Select all

rename %input% 1%fileext%& set input="%filepath%1%fileext%"
%mkvmerge_path% --output ^"%TEMP%chunk.mkv^" --compression 0:none ^"^(^" ^"%input%^" ^"^)^" --split parts:00:00:00-00:01:00
%mkvextract_path% "%TEMP%chunk.mkv" tracks 0:"%TEMP%el.chunk.hevc"
set DV="%TEMP%el.chunk.hevc"
rename %input% "%filename%%fileext%"

Yes I guess you can do it with 4-1-1 one episode at a time.

Good evening.
I just signed up to this forum just to thank Reset_9999 (and everyone else who contributed) for making available to everyone the great work that has been done to get Dolby Vision on various devices.

Thank you very much from a happy owner (now even more :lol: ) of x800m2.

All of my recent DaVinci Resolve generated RPUs have a min_pq value of 0. This includes variable aspect ratio files as well as cropped files. Am I doing something wrong?

FEL files always work and are 100% stable.

Did you plot L1 ? because if you just look at a random frame with the dovi_tool it can be hard to find one.
If you did your blanking(or timeline resolution) correctly it should not be always 0

you can also check in resolve:

left = blanking

when your two inputs have the same filename it causes conflict. just rename 1

EDIT: fixed in 1.6.3

I can see the values changing within Resolve. :D

I'm still working on getting the script to run correctly.

reset_9999 deserves his own topic with his revolutunary tool. it's sad for newcomers to start in this topic that is already outdated.

yes, it's not easy to install, I struggled myself.

you have to install python and a couple of modules.

you can install a module(ijson in that case) by typing this in a cmd window

Code: Select all

pip install ijson
