Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Question is if keeping a mkv backup is future proof. The bug I understand is converting the other way, from BDMV structure with TSMuxer to mkv again?

Thanks in advance.

Yes the bug is to go back BDMV -> MKV.
Otherwise using TSMuxer should probably be fine for playback.

So a quick question i want to ask,i use a shield,and i mostly use workflow 4-1-1
this works perfectly fine for me, i use the 1.7.7_MKV script and changed a few things
i for example convert my audio to DDP 5.1 1536kb/s
which is the way for me.
but is there a way i can remove the main dolby truehd with atmos track?
it keeps the new one and the original one in the file as you can see below, anything i can change in my settings to remove the original one? thanks!
EDIT: it also doesnt seem to keep all the subtitle tracks that are in the original file for some reason...

yes, for BD input the audio and subtitles selection is limited. I suggest you disable the muxing(line 21) and then you will be able to select all the tracks you want.
I might look into it for the next version...

The process I'm interested in is this:
- Rip retail UHD disc to mkv and store on NAS
- Keep mkv file on NAS
- Create temporary BDMV structure with TSMuxer from mkv to watch movie on Oppo player (with best DV support)
- Delete BDMV files

yes you can do that with my script (4-3). If you disable the muxing (line 21), tsmuxer will be launched at the end of the workflow. Then select BDMV folder and mux.

I was reading your "Dolby Vision Stuff". Thanks for all the information. I have some question.

1-For Blu-ray folder what you recommend, the Sony x700 or x800m2?

2-The x700m2 work the same as the x700?

1-For Blu-ray folder what you recommend, the Sony x700 or x800m2?

both works the same so , i guess the cheaper one is better (x700)

2-The x800m2 work the same as the x700?

They mostly work the same but the x800m2 is better because of the 5ghz wifi and it has fewer bugs.

Sorry, in the second question i mean x700m (and i write x700m2).
I want to know if the newer x700m work the same as the old x700?

i dont know. looks the same as the x700

Currently the option to overwrite L2 trim passes doesn't work directly with just an RPU or XML file. It processes the file, generates the new RPU, but then deletes the new RPU immediately after it was generated. Is there any chance you could fix this?

Edit: I take that back, after changing the setting to set keep_rpu=YES it began to save the new RPU file.

Anyone here look at the Star Trek The Next Generation movies that recently are out in 4k BR DV FEL?

I've never seen so much video data in a FEL stream before (from just doing the put it in an mkv container and playback to see if FEL or if all green=MEL thing)!

Normally you see a few multi-colored motion artifacts and that's it. Here, almost the entire image is produced/viewable.

Anything special/unique about these, or I just never came across it/noticed it on any other titles before?

From RESET_9999's plots, the FEL probably restores 2000/4000 nits brightness.
I have not checked, but I could if you have a sample.

Ah I meant with the base layer too.
Does look like it would increase brightness, though. Hard to know without the full BL+EL+RPU.

That sample has little frames where brightness is increased, but a lot of near black is darkened.
It seems to improve near black contrast and brighten some specular highlights from 1000 nits to 1700 nits here.

You can see the bottom left is brighter and the near black deeper.

It probably also improves on the compression artifacts a bit.

Ahhhh I didn't even think of that - does Total Recall or whatever that infamous one is - does the FEL look the same on that too where you can pretty much make out the entire image in the FEL alone?
