Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

The only downside of using TS on LG TVs is that you have to use external SRT subs. Some comments here recently said that ext srt doesn't work but on my end (PLEX C2), it still works.

I think it works with Plex/Jellyfin, but it doesn't work with built-in WebOS player (if you trigger the file via DLNA).

Also, internal webOS doesn't support PGS subtitles (which are usually present in Bluray remuxes).
Is there an option in your script to convert PGS to SRT?

What's the best way for me to check my own collection to see which FEL discs expand the picture brightness? What data should I be looking for?

Usually, the HDR10 base layer mastering display lum metadata will say 1000nits, and the RPU metadata will say 4000nits but the two only ways to really know is by plotting DV/HDR10 or by exporting some screenshots with the dovi baker.

You can do all of this with the script in my signature.

That's really helpful - thanks!

I guess the next step for me is to learn how to get DoviBaker to combine the BL and FEL (any tips would be welcome!) so I can do some test re-encodes...

I redid it using the same old version that is in your tools folder, the result was the same, a strobe light, this suggests that the TV cannot correctly reproduce dvhe.08.06, BL+EL+RPU? If could, would I see a normal color scheme?

The flashes are the mapping in the RPU. When fel is used, you're supposed to see a 2nd video in the background like this:

No, because it requires manual verification to be accurate. I use subtitle edit.

or most of the time , someone already converted them to srt: https://subscene.com

I checked again, dvhe.08.06, BL+EL+RPU is not supported from mp4, only TS dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU it is supported, I see both images.

In general, as I understand it, what was tricked out in that mkv (dvhe.08.06, BL+EL+RPU) is not correct and it is not necessary to do so?

And the last question, did you have the opportunity to check TS (dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU) on LG OLED TV 2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022-2023 or else on some other, since you wrote that this is the only universal option.

Well, it could be right as long as FEL doesn't expand the brightness. Looks like the dynamic metadata is used.
But better just convert P7 to true P8(no el and remove mapping) for playback on non-fel devices but once again, as long as FEL doesn't expand the brightness

2017-2019...
P7 ST-DL: TS or MP4, some files give black screen.
P7 DT-DL: Ts doesn't work but mp4 works. (some fel file may stutter)
P8/P5: TS and MP4 are fine

2020+ ...
P7 ST-DL: HDR10
P7 DT-DL: HDR10
P8/P5: TS and MP4 are fine

@RESET_9999 I've used MP4 workflow with DV P5 mkv (workflow 7 if i recall correctly).

After converting I'm getting random audio dropouts during playback on LG CX (internal player).
I'm using latest scripts (1.8.3).
Did you had similar issues?

I've used your scripts in the past (maybe a year ago) and didn't encounter similar issues.

After converting I'm getting random audio dropouts during playback on LG CX (internal player).
I'm using latest scripts (1.8.3).
Did you had similar issues?

This problem is observed only on Disney+ and Netflix web-dl and only when playing over the network (NAS or DLNA PC), if run via usb, everything will work. If RESET_9999 knows the treatment method, it will be great, but as far as I know, when building mp4box, it will not be possible to make a working version, you need to build using ffmpeg

[RESET_9999]

yeah , reason number 1222131545 why I don't use the mp4 container. I have never had any issues since I'm using the TS container with external SRT.

I tried remuxing using ffmpeg - then I get weird blocking artifacts on 10-15 places in file, but only if subs are included.
If i remux without subs, everything works fine.

I tried via Jellyfin and DLNA (Jellyfin DLNA). I'll try the USB also.

Thanks, I will try with .ts and report the results.

@RESET_9999

I've tried TS workflow on LG CX
1. DLNA - native webOS player - works perfectly, 0 audio/video glitches. FF/REW is a bit slower than MP4, but that doesn't bother me
2. Jellyfin WebOS app - works perfectly. You can choose subs, but because they are PGS, they will cause an error.

I have 2 questions:
1. I have set on line 39 to export subs, but no subs were exported
2. Is there an option to mux no subs into TS stream. I've seen an option, but it only muxes all subs or just forced subs

Thanks for your great work and help RESET_9999

[RESET_9999]

1- yea that option is just for the forced subs which is only what I need but I could add an option to export also the full subs.
2- No

I get it. I thought it will export all subs which are muxed into TS stream.

The command line is a single long line and the only spacing character allowed is the space.
