Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I'm trying to inject HDR10+ metadata into an HR10 remux. However, the HDR10+ metadata is delayed by 24 frames.
How do I sync them? I'm familiar with syncing with dovi_tool, but I'm afraid it won't work with HDR10+.

The part RESET mentioned about knowing your way around x265.exe is critical.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
The script uses ffmpeg/x265 but the parameters are hardcoded. If you use at least the slow preset + CRF17 or lower, it should give decent quality but you should do as @speeddemon said.

right and no need to inject it after the encoding. Just import the P8 rpu in the cmd.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Hi all,
Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I've been having some trouble with converting all my MKV remuxes to DV MP4s playable via the internal player on my LG GX TV.
My process is as follows:
- Extract RPU from MKV and converting to profile 8.1 discarding the EL using HDR Multi Tool.
- Extract the HEVC from MKV using mkvextract.
- Inject new 8.1 RPU.bin into HEVC using dovi_tool.
- Remux into new MKV using mkvtoolnix and verify audio sync chapters & subs.
- Convert new MKV to MP4 using ffmpeg with -strict unofficial.
Every file I've created in this way has been verified to contain only BL+RPU and all play fine on my PC triggering HDR10 fallback.
However, when played on my TV shared via DNLA using LG SmartShare, a handful of files won't play at all giving the error "This file cannot be recognised."
All other behaviour is normal including:
- Any DV in MKV only triggers HDR10
- DV BL+RPU+EL in MP4 only triggers HDR10
- DV BL+RPU in MP4 triggers Dolby Vision (but only in some files)
When the EL is stripped out, the TV will play some files triggering Dolby Vision mode while refusing to even open others, even in HDR mode. However the files that don't play, will play if the video stream has the EL but it will only trigger HDR10.
I'm genuinely at a loss here.
I'm going to try loading the file on a USB stick and to see if it's a Smart Share issue.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Correct, small mistake in my instructions above. I've edited. I meant to say inject the original Profile 7 FEL's RPU converted Profile 8.1...quietvoid wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 12:21 amHuh?

The only reason I typically don't do it like this is because I often want to manually edit the L5 to 0 since I'll typically also crop with Staxrip (I'm not encoding for Blu-ray so why not) and I find it just easier to let DoVi_Scripts handle the L5 cropping & P8 conversion while injecting.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 12:23 amright and no need to inject it after the encoding.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I was able to get everything setup I just have one question its about the MaxCLL, MaxFall & Mastering Display Values I didn’t know where to get the stats from so I just used the rpu info file generated from the script, for example the movie I’m tinkering with is Mission Impossible Rogue Nation and it lists the L1 MaxCLL as 10000.00 nits and the MaxFALL as 205.90 would those be the correct values I’m looking for because I know I need the FEL Values and the info file lists it’s for the Profile 7 FEL so I’m assuming that’s correct. Then the mastering display kind of has me stumped the info file lists 0.0050/4000 but that didn’t work in staxrip so I used this I found on the internetspeeddemon wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 12:05 amIt's best to use 7-1 worflow, edit the AVS FEL file to remove the text overlay so it looks something like this once edited:Iam2smart wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 11:53 pmI’ve just used the script before can I still use the DV Script or is it better now to use h265.exespeeddemon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 11:09 pm
