Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[simonhazel00]

My previous try for SDR to HDR was too dark. After a lot of trial and error, I have come up with this.

Children of Men 2006 - 1080p to 4K HDR (First 10mins)

Yes that's better than your sample from the other day. here's the original vs your conversion plot: https://slow.pics/c/81IGyAYq

I did this movie a while ago and IIRC, the BD SDR grade is not very good.
You'll notice that the SDR to HDR conversion works much better when the SDR grade is decent.

hello I've done some testing for dolby vision on devices for you reset.

toshiba 55UA3D63DB:

it supports profile 5, profile 8.1 in mp4 and mkv.

it playes the p7 fel st-dl and DT-Dl test clips and shows the text, brightness changes, but not the colours strobing and dolby vision isn't triggered either in ts or mp4.

the ts st-dl fel test track didn't show the brightness change, the strobing or the text and didn't show the dv logo

dune hd homatics box 4k plus:
unsure if this box has the fake TV led dolby vision issue however.

source led mode:
profile 7 fel
st-dl ts & mp4:
brightness change, strobing and text appeared correctly and triggered dv
DT-Dl ts:
brightness change, text appeared and dv triggered (no colour strobe)
DT-Dl mp4:
brightness change, colour strobing, text and dv logo

profile 8.1 works correctly in mp4 and mkv
profile 5 works correctly in mp4

player led mode:
profile 7 fel:
st-dl ts:
brightness change, colour strobing, text and dv logo
DT-Dl ts:
text and dv logo
st-dl and dt-dl mp4 :
brightness change, colour strobing, text and dv logo

profile 5 works in mp4 and 8.1 works correctly in mp4 and mkv.

unfortunately my TV doesn't have the hidden menu to look any further then that.

thanks for the tests. But wait the dune hd homatics box 4k plus supports FEL?
is that what you mean by: ''text appeared correctly''

yes the text appeared correctly.
Im actually really unsure what it's doing to be honest. the tests would indicate so, and the manufactures page says it supports fel, however the word it in a way that makes it sound like they are discarding fel and doing bl+rpu.

are your test sample definitive proof of proper fel support?

Im willing to do any testing you can think of, if you want me to dig deeper.

slightly off topic - getting dolby vision and truehd atmos working at the same time has been a pain. then there's earc flakeyness that really drives a middle finger home XD.

[RESET_9999]

Which preset should I be using for Dolby Vision generation?

I use the 2nd one (most highlight detail) but any option is fine and its up to your preference. If you find DV too dark, try the other tuning.

From top to bottom = More tone mapping/darker to less tone mapping/brighter

oh I see whats going on. My 2nd version of the fel test is misleading and i took the wrong EL.
please try this one instead and look for the 2nd video in the background like this:

thank you, I've tested the new file on the dune hd homatics box r 4k plus.
exactly what i thought and disregards the fel so it is just bl+rpu.

it annoys me they advertise fel support and then completely ignore the fel like what is the actual point of misleading everyone.

as I can't play fel on the dune hd is it worth converting profile 7 fel to profile 5?

[Amused]

@RESET_9999 I have been using your scripts for quite some time now, but I wonder if you have an automated option for processing a BD disc Profile 7 source to Profile 7 dual-track dual-layers, because my Sony X800m2 has problems with many ST-DL m2ts files (black screen), but works fine with DT-DL files. When I detect such a problem, then I simply convert the ST-DL to DT-DL m2ts, but that implies one more step. Thanks!

[RESET_9999]

this doesnt need to be scripted. Use workflow 8-3 to find out the correct playlist and then remux it directly with DoVi_Scripts\tools\tsMuxerGUI.exe

[sofakng]

Is there a current best player?

I've looked at RESET_9999's spreadsheet and it seems like all of them have several problems?

For DV rip, the x800m2 is the best player with fewer issues.

Wow, it’s as simple as that! Thanks, I thought it had to go through some processing before txMuxer!

Sony x800m2 handles DT-DL m2ts files beautifully, but struggles with many ST-DL files for some reason.

Thanks for this. Fel is discarded on my a95k via app of default media player .Even if it is in dolby vision mode. I have tried every container (DL-ST) exept mp4.

LG B8. Flac works

Ok, try the next version.
line 69 set encode_LL=NO
choices are NO or FLAC or LPCM (default=NO)

I set line 69 to FLAC as you instructed but the worflow 4-3-1 failed with:
[flac @ 0000023f44d84300] encoding as 24 bits-per-sample

Working fine on my end. Are you using your own ffmpeg ? if yes try with the version that comes with my tool pack.

yes the text appeared correctly.
Im actually really unsure what it's doing to be honest. the tests would indicate so, and the manufactures page says it supports fel, however the word it in a way that makes it sound like they are discarding fel and doing bl+rpu.

are your test sample definitive proof of proper fel support?

Im willing to do any testing you can think of, if you want me to dig deeper.

slightly off topic - getting dolby vision and truehd atmos working at the same time has been a pain. then there's earc flakeyness that really drives a middle finger home XD.

oh I see whats going on. My 2nd version of the fel test is misleading and i took the wrong EL.
please try this one instead and look for the 2nd video in the background like this:

Thanks for this. Fel is discarded on my a95k via app of default media player .Even if it is in dolby vision mode. I have tried every container (DL-ST) exept mp4.

Use Emby, if still have problem, I assure you is not the media player. I cast to x800 which cannot process dv in mkv so I always use ts to preserve lossless audio as well. Some DL-ST will freeze black, just keep everything DL-DT.

I set line 69 to FLAC as you instructed but the worflow 4-3-1 failed with:

Working fine on my end. Are you using your own ffmpeg ? if yes try with the version that comes with my tool pack.

Thank you, YES! That was the case, I had old ffmpeg. I'm happy to report Flac audio works with p7 DT-DL in MP4 container (Edit. On my LG B8)
Compression level 0 you set for flac encode is a good choice, I compared with level 5 on 2,5h movie and the size difference was only 200 mb.

However, the dts-hd ma track got discarded upon conversion, am I missing a setting to keep the original audio track?
