Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[Angryunibrow]

this modified version of tsMuxer(thanks a5180007) now retains the EL when using yusesope tool.
SL EL+RPU also now works on the x700( LG TV too) and without the dual-layer TS bug ( play one time, reboot). But this build doesnt work anymore with the dual layer DV remux from uhd-bd

Fully working movie tested (Hobbs and Shaw) on the Shield with Plex.
FF worked and Atmos triggered.

I only had an issue with Plex telling me connection to the server was not fast enough and the movie stopped after about 10 minutes.
I'm streaming from a remote server, and this usually doesn't happen. Not sure if it's related to the movie or not. I'll have to keep an eye on it. Haven't had that issue come up yet.

All in all it worked, and to my eyes looked great.
If you are not comparing screenshots all day you would never know if any colors were off to the normal DL Disc.

All in all I think a success, and I'm happy so far.

More watching and testing to be done.

Well, we know it looks the same as Netflix's DV colors on the Shield at least. I haven't seen a seen a huge uproar of Shield users complaining that Netflix wasn't matching disc quality (for colors I mean, obviously netflix is compressed) so it mustn't be that bad. Though it's possible that people who watch Netflix have perhaps never watched its real disc counterpart and don't know any better

Agreed, and honestly everyone "sees" colors differently, if you told me it was playing from the actual disc in DL I would not know the difference in a real life watching situation.

Even the troublesome Joker movie in a real life watching situation you would never even know the colors are off slightly unless you followed this thread and knew about it.

[Grencola]

• Joker BL_RPU raw HEVC (my program - second version - identical to that of DVDFab)
  • Joker_dvhe.05.06_BL_RPU_Single_Track_Single_Layer

I can confirm that this mp4 plays properly on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4k and looks great (to my eyes) with no color issues. MX Player was the only app that worked. This is actually the first file that has ever worked, other than Dolby's test samples. Usually just a DV flag with a black screen.

SL BL+EL+RPU atmos sample: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n95g_b ... sp=sharing ----->atmos + DV works on shield/plex

No dice on the fire stick, just a green screen with the dv flag active. then flickers and reverts back to hdr10 which looks ok.

A lot of users probably like the over saturated look, but Nvidia replied to my post and are looking at the issue which is something, I'm sure a lot more pureists would buy the shield if it had perfect reproduction.

[baker99]

does anyone know what 'web optimizer ' is in dvdfab? is it better to leave it on?

I haven't noticed a difference with it on or off, it does seem to take longer to process files when it's on though.

@RESET_9999
which version of yusesope tool you use? the one with the .old extension or the one without the .old extension?
After that is it necessary to make the .mp4 file with dolby mp4muxer? Or we can mux the bl_el_rpu.hevc file directly in tsmuxer adding audio etc?
Thank you

[kazuma]

does anyone know what 'web optimizer ' is in dvdfab? is it better to leave it on?

I haven't noticed a difference with it on or off, it does seem to take longer to process files when it's on though.

there is a difference. the movie 'midway' has not worked with ''off'.

Good to know, did you stream it or play directly from usb?

[yusesope]

this modified version of tsMuxer(thanks a5180007) now retains the EL when using yusesope tool.

Great news. To verify the correct implementation, however, make comparisons with the versions obtained through mp4muxer.

In the meantime, I release version 0.0.2 of my tool (refer to the original post HERE).
For more information take a look at the changelog.
I will not invest much energy in updating the tool (unless a serious error is discovered) because, if my idea proves valid, it will certainly be implemented in "more professional" tools (my code is open and the idea has been explained in detail).

When trying the bl_el_rpu_builder from yusesope (big thanks, awesome job), i get an outputfile that doesnt appear to be dual layer, its the same size as only the BL and when dropping it into txmuxer for example, its just 1 stream.

Do all counters reach 100%?
What movie are you trying to mux?
Try also with the new version of my tool.

[ragico]

@yusesope
thank you- If I have correctly understood the -mp4 is no longer necessary and your file can me used directly in tsmuxer?

According to the latest news, it seems so.
(I haven't tried it yet)

At the beginning, I suggest you always compare the result of tsMuxeR with that of mp4muxer. You are still using a nightly build of tsMuxeR.

Thank you for all your hard work

You are welcome
