Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Does anyone know if the UBPx800 can play Dolby vision via Mkv?

Thanks

No it does not.
Play in TS container.

Well at the moment I only have access to HDR10 via my Samsung. My next TV will have access to HDR10, HDR10+ and most like Dolby Vision and maybe HLG as well. But if I had to choose between Lossless Audio and DV over HDR10 + Lossless Audio then DV would lose out every time. Granted I have avoided being exposed to Dolby Vision because I currently do not have a DV capable TV but I would still take lossless audio. For me audio is as important as the picture. But that might change once I have DV but Audio is still a big part of why I ever upgrade at all.

My point wasn't so much that one is more important than the other, but rather that they should both be important. If you're going to be one who insists on having the best by having lossless audio, why would you not also insist on having the best by having DV (or at least the option). I don't have an HDR10+ TV (and won't for quite awhile since I only just bought my LG OLED), but I would also argue for any capability to retain HDR10+ video as well, just as vehemently. The post I responded to originally said "what's the point?". If you don't get what the point is, then you should just be streaming off of Netflix. (granted, part of the argument was "what's the point of the current implementation without lossless audio", but that's not seeing the forest for the trees)

Relax, I don't dictate to other people what they should use and was only stating that in my opinion HD Audio was as if not more important than HDR of which I only then and still now had access to HDR10. They are both important and still don't see your point since both are offered still today. And telling someone that if they don't get YOUR point that they should be streaming movies from Netflix is insulting and reductive. My entire life I have seen more than most of the people in my life and the same thing with audio, though less now that I am in my 50s. They are called opinions, get used to other peoples differing from yours.

Dv web dl’s movies in resolve.
Testing all export options to see which 1 produces the best or identical reproduction, same file size as well, even tested hevc 444 main 10 which no device can decode yet, but plays well on the pc,
Guardians of the galaxy holiday special (kbacon) dv/WB/dl
Here is a small test sample of the conversion.
Mdl on the encode is incorrect on purpose.
There are a few things i see in some of the results
I’m getting, both negative & positive feedback is welcomed.
Color range from Full to Limited plus yuv is tricky
I’ve seen banding in some scenes on 10bit yuv on some of the tests. No banding on raw exports samples. EDIT: banding solved.
In my opinion results are promising and looks better than the hdr10 version my sample is 4000nits colors are on point with the exception of the brightness shift,rpu is original p5 to p8.1 Looks more like a natural p5.

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).

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).

This is an old post, but the answer to your question is the 2019 Shield TV Pro. The "red push" being claimed is utter nonsense. Simply put, it is something concocted by just a few members of this forum.

Disregarding red push, the 2019 Shield TV Pro can process FEL?

[NuadaXXX]

hi I have a CX
back in the day, the tv was running DV7 with mel, but now it plays only HDR over USB, but when i mux it to P8 it works again, is this normal ?

i think a new FW update from the TV is the problem.

It will play it but the enhancement layer will be ignored.

Has the firetv cube gen 3 now surpassed the Shield as the best player for DV MKVs as it now supports bitstreaming? It has better DV support, right? (does it use the EL? or also just the RPUs, but better color accuracy?) It doesn't have gigabit ethernet, but the wifi 6E could conceptually compensate for that. I'm wondering what others think.

If I'm not mistaken the latest Cube does not process FEL. There seem to be some audio problems too. I haven't read the whole thread yet, but at AVSforum issues are mentioned about Dolby MAT not always being output and DTS-HD throughput not working.

Hi ! Is it possible to use the dovi_script tool of @RESET_9999 to create a Dolby vision profile 8 mkv and not a ts file ?
