Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Hi! Crop RPU which mode? Thank you in advance.

You can crop them manually with the dovi_tool itself (CMD). However there is an option to crop RPU's during the inject workflows (Mode.I).

So you don t advice DUNE HD REAL VISION 4K for P7 MKV dolby vision to buy ?

I can't help keeping to remind that not every P7 carries FEL. It can have MEL instead, which is equivalent to P8.1.

That having said, I couldn't advice on whether to buy or not. In my viewing environment, the additional impact varies per title. During regular playback sometimes it's even hard to notice. Where you could only tell by scrutaneous A-B comparison on still images. To my eyes screen calibration brought more joy than additional FEL enhancement. It comes with a pricetag though.
Among my players is a RTD1619 based Zidoo Z9X. When viewing a FEL movie, I have no urge to switch to UHDBD player because I'd miss out on something. There is a lot to be enjoyed on DV even if FEL is ignored. IMO, the main awe of Dolby Vision (and HDR10+ for that matter) lies in the applyance of dynamical metadata.

Everybody should decide for himself. Go compare players that do and don't support FEL processing. Where you also may want to compare tv-led to lldv. Imagine a lower-end tv displaying a better picture when tonemapping is performed by a higher-end player. And vice-versa.

...as long as you can watch 5 that's good enough.

I'm definitely keeping an eye on P5. When these streams became available I did have problems with the "quality".
Which overall has significantly improved though, and seems to keep improving.

What steps did you take to decode P5? Should it happen automatically?

Are u using a Mac ?
If so did u try Glass blowing??
It should happen automatically but it does not for 99% of the demos & p5 web dl I tested at 1st.
But they do now.
I did not update my mac yet just been testing on windows but I am curious about the mac as well.

Running ZEN+ with Nvidia desktop. I do not have those settings. I guess a Dolby Vision License is needed?

For windows yes. Or a hack I found which allows resolve to think it’s connected to a doblyvision monitor, that was discussed here a while back.

I'm trying to use RESET's DV scripts to convert my Westworld discs to mp4 using the old mp4muxer method using .ts input (7-2-4).
For this I've used TSMuxerGUI first to extract the first episode (00089.mpls) to ts file.
The audio track seems to be TrueHD and I didn't downconvert it to AC3.
When opening the ts file with the script, it will demux and use eac3to extract the AC3 audio from the trueHD track.

Here's the output:

Code: Select all

Thanks @saba30.

Is this already taken care of in batch version 1.6.8.1 BETA ? If not, can you tell the line numbers to be edited?

If you're trying to communicate with @Reset_9999, the best way is through PM.

[ArArdin]

I assumed saba30 was another person that found a bug. Didn't have the intention to disturb RESET_9999 since he's having a break.

Thanks, Gatorman.
