Reading Dolby Vision FEL/MEL Layer

[jordanwalkert]

I have purchased both MakeMKV as well as the advanced version of MediaInfo. I’m on a Mac, so I cannot use BDInfo. I was wondering if either of these pieces of software could tell me the break down of Dolby Vision streams so I could find out the size of the enhancement layer to determine if it’s FEL or MEL. I have a media player that obviously cannot take advantage of the information from the FEL layer so I only playback HDR10 and MEL content on there. I’d like to see the size of the EL stream. I know BDInfo does this really well and I wish there was a way to use that. Any help would be appreciated!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like MediaInfo is showing that the main stream size for the video is 48.6gb which says is making up 93% of the total video stream. So that means the EL layer is the other 7% and thus this is a FEL stream? Wouldn't a MEL layer be a much smaller percentage? If that is the case, this is exactly the information I am looking for and it would be very easy for me to discern this but if I'm reading this wrong please let me know!

I think that's telling you that the video stream is 93% of the total file size.
