Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[Yoshitaka]

Which workflows would be best to convert this mkv to mp4 for C9 playback?
I'd like to keep audio highest quality possible.
I know that LG C9 has issues playing TrueHD.. Eac3 doesn't always sound the best, and the pcm conversion does? Is that right?
Should I change this to DT DL P7? Or perhaps single layer P8? Differences in video look or is it the same?

1. if it's fel and expands brightness or improves details: MP4 version + workflow 4-3

2. mel or fel that doesn't touch brightness or details: MP4 or TS version + workflow 4-2

the MP4 version always encode DDP for any lossless audio but if your file has DTS, I think the C9 supports playing the core so that might be better than DDP. TrueHD will not work and PCM is downgraded to 2 channels IIRC.

[Yoshitaka]

Would there be a benefit to doing a TrueHD to DTS-HD MA conversion in that case vs EAC3?

[RESET_9999]

The core in a DTS-HD7.1 track is only 5.1 so if you have a 7.1 audio system, DDP may be better.

[Yoshitaka]

Ok, and FLAC doesn't work with DV MP4's? Does it have undesirable results perhaps and EAC3 is just the better or best option?

[RESET_9999]

I'm not sure.

Here's an audio test file if you want to try: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wRlklh ... drive_link

[Yoshitaka]

The TV speakers really do have good bass to it.
It seemed like the last track was the loudest and fullest on the tv speakers. Makes sense.

I'm not sure when it changed, but Emby can now cast P7 DL DT or ST in any container that I tested, TrueHD 7.1 or DTS-HD MA 7.1, direct from the server to the media player via UPnP. When using the UBP-X800m2 which cannot add client apps to it, this makes Emby the only choice. I could never get Jellyfin or Kodi to work with the UBP and was always using Windows Media Player to cast FEL P7 titles with lossless audio. There is now an all in one solution that makes your library look good! Thought I'd share since I learned so much from this thread, been reading it for years on and off. Cheers!

Hallo Reset my question is if i take mkv 7 profile dolby vision and then muxe it in ts muxer to ts container could i play it in clon oppo in ts container 7 profile dolby vision and do i get true dolby vision like in bdmv container ? Cause my friend tried it and said that this oppotunity don t work

Yes,but as noted in the excel sheet in my signature, on the x700/x800m2 and oppo, some ST P7 rip will not work.
Use workflow 4-3 to get a dual track dual layer file and all the rips will work.

It's been quite a while since using RESET_9999's scripts and I'm somewhat struggling with the current ones. My newbee apologies for asking.
Is it possible to convert a dovi P7 mkv (singletrack duallayer) into a P7 dualtrack-duallayer mp4 file? If so, can someone tell me which steps in what script?

MP4 version of my script and then workflow 4-3

Nice. Went flawless after clearing some path-related issues. Really feel like a blundering novice here.

Thanks a bunch for your quick response

A few questions regarding the options after the first "4" (DoVi Profile 7 Input (MKV/BDMV)) if you don't mind, RESET_9999.

It is possible for P7 mp4 to be STDL (IIRC the old Yusesope tool could do so), where BL and EL+RPU be interleaved in one hevc track. Is there a particular reason to why there's no option to output such STDL mp4?
Another thing is, I've recently learned that chapters can be muxed in mp4. Can you tell me how this is done in case I have a - let's say chapters.txt file - or do I have to add the chapters in mkv first?

the ST-DL P7 workflow is hidden a bit but it's there in workflow 4-1-2. It's only for BDMV or DT-DL input though.

I guess I could let workflow 5 to mux the ST P7 video untouched(right now it convert to p8)
