Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Hi Reset

I have HDR10+ metadata but it is 24 frames ahead of my UHD mkv.
Is it possible to resync and inject this with the DoVi scripts ?

Cheers

Windows Movies and TV app support Level 5 surprisingly (and also cmv4.0). Only HDMI device to support L5 so far.

If I have a P5 DV in MKV and a HDR monitor,

1. Which workflow should I use to make it work with windows app?
2. Do I have to turn on HDR in the windows settings too?
3. Any other requirements?

On the next update, would you be able to add an option in your workflow to choose a subtitle track to burn into the video?

Maybe, not sure. I'm not a fan of hardcoded subs.

Nop, my script cannot resync hdr10+.

1- set mp4_version=NEW and workflow 5

2- yes

3- HEVC and dolby vision extension.

EDIT: Nevermind. I think it's because the Dovi Scripts files were not placed inside a root folder of the hard drive.

I'm running workflow 4-3 to add silent AC3 core to DV MKV file. Not sure why it says: "The system cannot find the file E:\Films\FILM". My DV MKV file path is: E:\Films\[movie name]\backup, while the DoVi_Scripts_TS. bat file and tools folder are in E:\Films\FILM MUXER\DoVi_Scripts

the script folder doesn't have to be at the root drive but it doesn't like when you put it in a path with space or special characters.

so you just had to remove the space in E:\Films\FILM MUXER\DoVi_Scripts

Ah makes sense. Thank you

Hi

Getting confused.

For injecting Web-DL into UHD.
UHD frame 5038 matches WEB frame 5022.
So when using NEGATIVE 16 delay the screenshots match using 7 - 2.

When I then inject the rpu into my UHD to resync do I also enter POSITIVE 16 to resync the RPU using 1-1?

Cheers

in 1-1 you want to sync the WEB to the BD, yes you have to duplicate 16 frames so it's positive 16
in 7-2 it depends of which video you input first


But you should always double check your final hybrid with 2-4(full) or 2-5(quick)

For dovi baking (8-6-1), are we required to crop to match the image aspect ratio? Aside from the black bars being left in, does not cropping affect the encoding?

One reason I ask is because I can't crop with an odd top/bottom number (263/263) on my video file, so I'm forced to crop with 264/264. Cropping with an odd number on my video file yields the error: "YUV image can only be cropped by mod 2" (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/368 ... g-question). Which is fine if cropping is required, but if it isn't then I'd prefer to just not crop.

No,
L5 is left untouched unless you crop or downscale.

How do you make the comparison of SDR vs HDR in a single video?
As soon as I put SDR or HDR together in one video, one them just becomes dull.

[RESET_9999]

you have to tone map SDR to HDR first in 8-6-5
It is much better to compare SDR to HDR in an HDR container IMO because you leave HDR untouched and because SDR100nits doesn't need to be compressed as well, you get the actual difference:

Hi, When I try to convert a .mkv mono layer P7 with 2 atmos track English and French, When I select the option 5 - 3 it keeps me only the English track and ignores the French track I would like to keep, How can I keep the 2 track?

@Reset_9999

I appreciate all the work you've done on figuring out how to play P7 DV on various players. I noticed in your file that you don't mention the Panasonic UB820, which also has network/usb capabilities. Do you know if it's been tested? If not I'd be happy to test it to see if it works.

I've been successful in getting DV to trigger on my x800m2 playing ripped 4k UHD using your instructions. But when I try to play them, I always get stuttering in the playback. Sometimes it's worse than other times. DVD/480p plays back with no issues. Trying now to figure out where the problem lies, whether in my wifi (I don't think so, devices next to the x800m2 are getting >200 mbps download and my server is hardwired with >800 mbps upload), the server (I'm using an old computer, maybe it can't handle serving the 4k UHD file? But there's no transcoding, so I don't think it's this), or the x800m2 itself. I have a checklist that I'm going through today to try to eliminate possibilities (playing a file via usb, moving the wifi router, etc). Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.
