Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

As long as they did the trims correctly it doesnt really matter if L1 is static and L1 values under your TV target are ignored anyway.
For example in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, they did a crazy amount of work on the trim pass.

this is all done manually by the colorist and no generated L1 will ever be able to match this:

Very interesting! Same deal for Furiosa? That one is much more static than KotPotA

May I have the PM for the RPU collection, please?

not as much work as the apes but still very dynamic.

Yep. Ended up figuring that out too last night. Demuxed each segment with tsmuxer, combined BL and EL with your tool and then appended them in mkvtoolnix. Really odd this happened though, I’ve never encountered an error with RPUs using makemkv and I’ve ripped so many discs.

Does MakeMKV throw an error when this happens? Or did you only notice during playback?

Didn’t even get far enough for playback. I check all my RPUs because I’ve been burned before (early framestore hybrids, yuck). But no, makemkv didn’t throw an error, so that’s not great.

Forgive the likely ignorant question, but how do you check your RPUs?

[valington]

Or are they smart enough to actually be baking the FEL into the BL?

I've listed the groups that bake FEL and those that don't. I did not check all of them but most didn't encode FEL to P8 correctly.

does that mean it's likely ok if an encoder ditched the FEL and just went with the BL?

yes

It looks like Pulp Fiction's FEL is only 3847 kbps. Does the bitrate of the FEL generally correlate to how "important" it is? IE - this relatively low bitrate FEL isn't doing much and can probably safely be thrown out, whereas the much higher 13877 kbps bitrate of The Truman Show means it's far more important to make sure the FEL is properly dealt with and not thrown away. Is that correct?

the EL bitrate doesn't mean much. I've seen 18mb/s EL that adds nothing to the BL.

RESET please give information how can i install ce-ng for s905x4 dune homatics for true -tv led and true dolby vision fel ? i dont have experirnce in it

No idea, ask on the CE forum.

You can just grab the web-dl for mando and do the hybrid yourself for the last ep of s2. I also noticed it was out of sync back when I put on on my server, so I did this. Sync is fine now, checked.

I'm just gonna realign the RPU already there with Reset's tools when I get around to it

Man, imagine if every movie got that much love and care :/

Thank you

EDIT: I hadn't installed LAV filters, the script didn't warn me about that, but after installation the script seems to be running ok.

I'm trying my first attempt at converting an HDR10 mkv to DV using the dovi_scripts. As far as I can tell, all the required .exe files are in the tools folder. The following workflow has no warning messages about missing .exe files, but fails with the messages copied below. Grateful for any suggestions.

Did you install madvr and lavfilter?
From that log, It fails at the scene cuts detection with madvr

[morbius]

I downloaded the tools.7z package and added the required .exe files from the Dolby Professional tools link, but I missed out a separate installation of LAV filters. The tools folder (in the same directory as the .bat file) includes madvr, but it still looks like I am missing something since the 3-1 workflow is now failing at a later step, see below.

[RESET_9999]

it fails when it tries to convert to prores. I don't know why it does that for you sorry.

[DylanValenti]

For the Star Wars films, should we use the p5 to p8 RPUs or should we do the newer generated RPUs

[RESET_9999]

The ones done in cmv2.9 without trims, yes I always generate new/better cmv4.0 metadata.
