Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

5. On your GRADE/MASTER CHECK (P8 DV HYBRID) sheet, some titles are released in different regions with different gradings/ecnodes by different studios, so clarifying the version may be helpful. For example, Paramount's Arrival (2016) in the US/UK looks different from Sony's in the EU and all the DV WEB-DLs I can find seem to be Sony's grading. (From what I've read, Paramount's grading is more faithful to the original.) Another one would be Escape from New York (1981): Both Shout Factory and StudioCanal's releases have DV FEL. Wondering which one is your plots taken from?

good point, most of the time I don't actually know the version I'm downloading lol.
I'll try to add the region info next time.

1. On line 10467 in the DoViBaker workflow, the path to DGDecodeNV.dll is hardcoded instead of referencing DGIndexNV_path.

right will fix next release. thanks

4. On line 10385, have you considered making the sample maker's timestamp range configurable at the top of the file?

yes I could do that

3. The 1.8.3 release notes currently suggest "copy[ing] the dovi.dll into 'C:\Windows\System32'". FYI it doesn't need to be System32--any dir in the Path environment variable would do. IMO it is a security risk to ask users to copy binaries into System32.

yea I just followed dovi_baker github instruction. Good to know thanks

It appears that we still need to manually take screenshots through AvsPmod. Do you know whether AvsPmod is scriptable?

I don't think avspmod can extract screenshot via command lines.
I guess I could script something with ffmpeg though.

Next version will make a FEL and MEL script for easy comparison. I also added some overlay text.

Thank you for all these!

if you want to save some time, I already generated DV in resolve for most of the movies, here are over 600 RPU files ready to be injected

And wow I was just catching up on the thread and found I missed this. The link is dead now. @RESET_9999 any chance you could PM me a copy as well? I only have 2 posts here so far so can't PM you yet. (Can I receive PMs?)

probably because the zidoo wrongly send a bt2020 flag with the TV-LED signal.
When I tested this device a very long time ago, it was slightly affecting the colors: Green, yellow and blue were paler and red darker.

IMO that bt2020 flag is just a red herring. My Panasonic UB820 also sets it for DV.

Please tell me if there is a way to make switching subtitles on built-in LG TV player during network playing a .mp4 dv 8 profile, or is this the normal situation (limitation) for LG software? Perhaps any additional point when building in ffmpeg needed?

[RESET_9999]

Thank you for all these!

DoVi_Scripts_1.8.4.2.beta now has a workflow (6-8-2) that can ''quickly'' export 5x FEL/MEL PQ screenshots. (will only work if your input is at least 36min)
It's random so just because those 5 screenshots don't show a difference doesn't mean there isn't one on another shot. Plotting DV and HDR10 is a better indication of brightness expanded via fel.

IMO that bt2020 flag is just a red herring. My Panasonic UB820 also sets it for DV.

It's been a while since I tested this but the bt2020 flag with RGB tv-led definitely did change the colors slightly but nothing major really. And I when I tested that, it was before the @yusesoap profile8 era so I only tested profile 5 patterns.
If you have an hdfury device, you can remove it. I tested the Zidoo and Shield (they sent bt2020 flag too before) and both had different colors with the bt2020 flag.

Those other differences in the signal you found are very interesting though.

any chance you could PM me a copy as well?

Markswift says that the TV does not handle this bt2020 flag during signal processing, maybe some TVs handle it differently?

The zidoo guys (mirrors and mark) often say things without actually testing them. I don't put too much attention to what they think or say.

Hey @RESET_9999,

Using your script, is it possible to output a profile 8 DV MKV using 2 imputs??

Input #1 is a MKV with HDR already created from the UHD disc rip.
Inut #2 is the UHD disc ripped to folder.

I see you can convert the UHD disc to DV profile 8 MKV but I would prefer to add DV to my existing MKV file as I have already re-encoded it to make it a bit smaller and burnt in my subtitles.

[RESET_9999]

No, but you can use (2-2) to extract the rpu from the original dual track m2ts and then use (1-1) to inject it into your encode (will be converted to P8).
If your encode is cropped, the rpu will be cropped.

Cool, thanks. I'll give that a go...

So does anyone know what DV profiles the TCL C835 Google TV can play??

I have tried a DV profile 7 MKV created using MakeMKV and a DV profile 8 MKV using the script from @RESET_9999. I tried both MKV's in the TV's internal player, also in Kodi installed on the TV and also my HTPC running LibreELEC (which I already knew wouldn't work).

All playing options I tried show both MKV files as HDR10.

Any ideas?

Did you try the TS/M2TS container?

Not yet but I will. Are there any issues affecting playback with either container? Which is the preferred container?

Oh yeah, I am streaming the files from my NAS if that makes any difference.

[RESET_9999]

I dont know about TCL TVs but TS has better DV support on devices usually.
