Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[justinadams]

Welp, i'm stumped.
I can't seem to get Joker to process to single layer correctly.
I just did Alita and it worked without issue. Demux with tsmuxer (the one that has the folder name of "tsMuxer test"), yusesope's v2 tool, remux to ts with tsmuxer. I have tried a different copy of joker (just in case), demux with ffmpeg, remux without audio, adjusting the the load_balancing_factor of yuescope's tool (since it was showing either 99.6% or 99.7% of EL once it completed with no error).
only success I have had was with doing a 20 second clip with no audio.
anything suggestions would be much appreciated.

Same issue with Doctor Sleep. Going through the steps with the whole movie resulted in a 99.2% EL analysis in yusecope's tool and then no DV layer once remuxed back into a TS container. Using a 20s clip, the files go through yusecope's at 100% on everything and the resulting TS with no audio contains both DV and HDR 10+:

My current MKV samples store no DV metadata in codec private area - once I add the support I'll update the samples and hopefully this would give the start to DV support in MKV container.

Wonderful

Can you both try THIS temporary version (only source code)?

Code: Select all

python-3.7.6.amd64\python \path\to\bl_el_rpu_builder_temp_version.py -bl \path\to\BL.hevc -el \path\to\EL.hevc -of \path\to\output.hevc 

I imposed a more rigid alignment between the reading and writing processes (in order to avoid that the two layers, BL and EL, are staggered in the output file).

In the event that the counters reach all 100%, wait for the message "Press a button to exit".

[Angryunibrow]

OK so I did Doctor Sleep (Full Movie) using the "Test Build"

Everything processed 100%.
(I used EAC3TO to Extract the BL & EL)

Still recieved the same message in tsMuxeR, and thought this was not going to work.

I regularly get the message, I think it's normal and to do with timestamps, some information here https://bitmovin.com/docs/encoding/faqs ... by-default

Just tried your temporary build, and it worked for Joker, however I tried it with Spectre, and the EL analysis rockets to 100% fairly quickly, but the BL analysis sits at 0%, and does not progress. I also tried it with First Man, and it just hangs and says "wait.." after hitting enter when adding the EL.

[shawnc22]

Just tested Doctor Sleep and can confirm that new temp build works. But then I just tried A Quiet Place, and it was getting hung up at the "Wait..." message. Went back to the previous version and that went through just fine.

Remember I use eac3to to extract all my BL & EL files, and have had zero issues.
Everyone who are having issues maybe try eac3to and see what happens.

Its been zero issues on all moves for me so far.

Do you mind sharing which version of eac3to you use? and the command to extract the video streams? Sorry, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the EL out, only the base layer is extracted. Thanks.

Sorry!
I made a stupid mistake!

I forgot to correctly initialize the Thread which takes care of reading the two layers.

You need to add the following line of code between line 442 and line 443 (follow the instructions in THIS post).

Code: Select all

self.event.set()

Respect the tabulation (as in the image), it is fundamental.

Got it, that worked! (although not as fundamental as spaces )

[Angryunibrow]

I obviously do not know how to edit properly in Notepadd ++, keep getting an error.
Can you post the new file?

Thanks
