Two questions remain from my side:
1. What's the difference between mode 1 and 2? mode 1 seems to be the default and will produce a slightly larger file.
However both mode 1 and 2 will trigger Dolby Vision on my TV and I cannot see the difference.
Find more info
HERE.
In summary, "-mode 1" creates a Single Track Double Layer file (1:1 copy of a UHD).
"-mode 2" instead generates a Single Track Single Layer file (such as DVDFab).
Not all people own devices that can play files with dvhe.04 or dvhe.07 profile (-mode 1), so I have given the possibility to create files of type dvhe.05 (-mode 2).
The fact that you see no difference is a bit like someone who cannot distinguish a 320 kbps 16bit/44.1kHz MP3 from a 1200 kbps 24bit/192kHz FLAC: it depends on your equipment and subjective sensitivity.
Thank you my friend for explaining.

EDIT:
I've also added a second Dolby Digital Plus (eac3) 5.1 track now.
why not add another lossless track like DTS-HD MA?
Will try this as soon as possible and report back

2. I don't like the fact that I have to use eac3to to convert the truehd atmos audio to a compatible "thd+ac3" format for TSMuxer, because I have to run it with wine.
Can I achieve the same with ffmpeg instead? (e.g. convert the truehd atmos track to something TSMuxer will accept)
I don't use tsMuxeR yet but I would try something like this:
instead of demuxing the audio track with ffmpeg and then re-editing it with eac3to, why don't you import the original disc and my HEVC file into tsMuxeR and then just check my raw stream and the TrueHD/ATMOS track (from the disc)?

For all the remuxes I've done, I never actually extracted the atmos extract from the original disk. If you open the original decrypted m2ts/mpls file in tsmuxer, you'll notice that the atmos track is already in ac3+thd format. I simply unchecked every other track except for the atmos track, add in the merged hevc video track from yusecope's tool, and mux. Only issue I've had so far is with audio desyncing a bit 2/3 of the way into A Quiet Place. Not sure if this issue is with tsmuxer or yusecope's tool, but more tests will be needed
Thanks yusesope and shawnc22, this works as well!
Didn't know TSMuxeR could also open bluray discs.. this will make life a lot easier as I can kick out the windows-only closed source eac3to now

Now I also do not have to save the atmos.mp4 truehd track any longer with ffmpeg, just the BL.hevc and EL.hevc:
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i bluray:/path/to/my/bluray -map 0:0 -c copy ./BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy ./EL.hevc
Still no luck trying to play the TrueHD track using Emby on my LG C8 yet, even when I switch to the builtin speakers (instead of ARC) Emby will still instruct the server to transcode the truehd audio to AC3

Perhaps there's something wrong with Emby itself.
I'll try to copy the file to a USB disk and see what happens when using the internal player instead.
But on the bright side, now that I can use TSMuxeR, I can successfully embed dolby digital plus (eac3) (limited to 5.1 though) which is still an improvement over regular ac3.
I hope to see some success stories with DV + Atmos on the Shield using Emby/Plex, since I'm planning on getting one soon (as regular ARC cannot do hd-audio to my amp).
