Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[Moe123]

Hi guys, I actually don't think I'm too stupid, but I somehow don't get a grip on it.I created BL + EL and created an mp4 with profile 5 and created a .ts with TsM and that with many attempts, different TsM versions but the result is never an SL DV.ts.I keep getting DL DV.Where am I always making a mistake and after repeatedly searching the 127 pages I can't figure it out.

[Angryunibrow]

It appears, unless i'm doing something wrong the LG Plex app can't play back a Dolby Vision .ts file created.
I made a Profile 7 just using the 640kb core audio so I know it would direct play but the TV does not trigger Dolby Vision, just HDR

Only thing I noticed was tsmuxer makes it Profile 7.05, while mp4muxer makes it 7.06

Not sure if that is the reason, or its just the the TV needs an .mp4 file instead of .ts - but the file did play just only in HDR

[DaMacFunkin]

I registered this account to show my appreciation to @yusesope. Your tool is awesome!

Thanks. I'm glad!

I missed a couple pages of history, so forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference with your tool vs. just ripping the BL, EL...

@mulucy summarized the situation for you.

Hi, the video nitrate reports as 0kb because the Oppo can’t decode the video stream, it can’t even determine the length of the movie, the exact same file plays fine on shield2019 pro, and in HDR10 on shield 2017.

The question is: why does the Shield manage to reproduce the video and the OPPO does not?
Without the hardware available I cannot give you an answer. You can continue to try and report successes and failures and maybe someone will notice that little inconsistency that is common to movies that are not played. However, one film does not make statistics (because statistics is defined as "aggregate of facts")

I can’t find the words to put this technically but I wonder if on some FEL movies one layer needs to be first... and by this I refer back to MVC where you had right eye mux and left eye mux, do you know what I mean?

As for the order of the layers, I wrote a post about it (HERE).
Note how each BL block is composed of n elements and each EL block is composed of n + 1 elements (where the +1 is represented by the RPU metadata).
Note how each NALu AUD acts as a separator.
The idea came up by looking at and reversing Dolby's mp4muxer code.
This type of order is then common to the "official files" (the very few demos of the TV manufacturers).
I am quite sure that this is the correct order and I am sure that it must apply to all movies (otherwise we could not speak of standards but of chaos)

I’ve found a common denominator, done a few FEL today and they all work on Shield 2019 and Oppo except titles with HDR10+ (Hobbs and Shaw, 1917), which is strange because the Oppo supports HDR10+ ( my tv doesn’t neither does the shield) something with this method forces the Oppo to try and send the HDR10+ layer to a DV display, maybe the descriptors are not correct???
Like I said only FEL titles with HDR10 + are not playing.

Is there anyway to strip the HDR10+ information with eac3to or ffmpeg during this process?

Not sure if it's an issue with the newer versions of tsmuxer or just the LG internal player not being able to play dual track DL DV ts files, but i do remember that when going from the original decrypted m2ts directly to a TS, this was the result from an earlier version of tsmuxer: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18602&p=84852&hilit=x700#p84852. Maybe you can go back a month or so to an earlier version and see if that makes a difference.

edit: https://bintray.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/d ... -10-39.zip might be the one to try

[Maxoumax6]

It would be interesting to see how another software would handle the matter.
I am therefore trying to modify at bit level the .ts files produced by FFmpeg.
I did some experiments using THIS file and HERE you can find the results.
If your device plays the original file, test the files I edited.
If there is a positive response (I have my doubts but there is no harm in trying!), I will explain what and how I did it.

Thank you.

Hey everyone,
I've been following the topic for a long time now. You guys are doing such a great job. I'm amazed by that, it's so cool!!
I get through the process and only obtained stuttering .mp4 on my C8.
But, the mp4.ts you did, works smoothly on my C8. You are a magician Yusesope but the only question is : how did you do this?

Thanks again guys.

Thank you for the link, and maybe I miss spoke but I thought there were 2 versions of tsmuxer and the GitHub "version" was the one we needed over the version that says"PayPal" in the corner.

Are they the same now?

The version that says "PayPal" in the corner is 2.6.12 / proprietary. The versions on github are opensource, under active development with UHD/HDR/DV.

Maybe the TV does not read HDMV descriptors, as opposed to the BD players. As stated previously, I had pushed the standard HEVC video descriptors for DV, but was asked to come back to HDMV descriptors due to PGS, ac3+thd and ac3+eac3 BD tracks not working anymore.

I understand that the Shield reads only DV marked as profile 5. However Blu-ray profile 7 dual tracks changed to single tracks should be profile 8 and not profile 5, as the BL is BT.2100 and not Dolby IPT colorspace. The Shield SoC seems to be able to read any DV as long as it is marked profile 5, so this is something that should be addressed by NVidia in a firmware rather than allowing to disseminate non-compliant DV files.

[pargo]

What is it about a demuxed mkv rip that this tool doesn't like? Do you think it might be possible in the future?

Also would be my question, since Dolby's mp4muxer works perfectly (well at least mp4muxer_64bit.exe works) with extracted bl, el tracks from mkv-files. Watched couple of DV movies on LG Oled that way.

Edit I found the 64bit version of mp4muxer and my TV still doesn't active DV when I play the output file.

I have Shield 2019, using tsmuxer-11f852a to demux Annihilation remux MKV, and repackage the BL and EL with the AC3 layer using mp4muxer 64 bit. But the Shield through plex always shows HDR. Any ideas what I'm missing? Would really appreciate it.

I think the Shield is good with reading single track+dual layer dv profile 4, and single track+single layer profile 5 and 8 videos. Dual track+dual layer profile 7 videos have always been the problem, hence yusecope's tool to merge the tracks but keep the layers still separate (or the -mode 2 option to also merge the layers). The issue somebody was having was with an Apple TV 4k not reading a ST+SL file in prof 8, but when the same video track is remuxed in 5, it'd work perfectly. Probably an issue with the Apple TV not supporting prof 8

Do you know what the last version was before the change that you think might work, I'm looking for an easier way to do profile 7. mp4muxer takes to long

Apple TV 4K only supports Profile 5. Apparently, the all-new Shield TV supports Profile 4 and 5. And with Profile 4, you get both: single track dual layer and single track single layer and all with lossless audio and ATMOS/DTS-X.

To clarify the profiles:
Profile 4 is SDR BL with DV IPT EL -therefore backward compatible with SDR, not HDR10.
Profile 5 is DV IPT colorspace BL, not backward compatible with SDR or HDR10, i.e. will not give correct colors on a non-DV TV.
Profile 7 is dual track HDR10 BL with DV IPT colorspace EL, backward compatible with HDR10.
Profile 8 is SDR or HDR BL with DV metadata, backward compatible with SDR or HDR.

Just gave the 1917 movie a shot.

First using yusesope's v0.0.3 rev 1 tool:

And afterwards I remuxed the 1917.hevc along with the TrueHD+ac3 core track from the bluray disc into a .ts file with the latest TsMuxer (built from source).

For the record, I didn't use mp4muxer in the process...

As you can see it reports: 04.06.

Shouldn't it report profile 05 instead?
Because your PR has been merged: https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/pull/264 and I built the latest rev, which should include your fix.

When you use yusesope's v0.0.3 rev 1 tool, you MUST add a parameter -mode 2,then you will get a DoVi Profile 5 hevc video, without this parameter, the default mode produces a DoVi Profile 4 hevc video.

Apple TV 4K only supports Profile 5. Apparently, the all-new Shield TV supports Profile 4 and 5. And with Profile 4, you get both: single track dual layer and single track single layer and all with lossless audio and ATMOS/DTS-X.

To clarify the profiles:
Profile 4 is SDR BL with DV IPT EL -therefore backward compatible with SDR, not HDR10.
Profile 5 is DV IPT colorspace BL, not backward compatible with SDR or HDR10, i.e. will not give correct colors on a non-DV TV.
Profile 7 is dual track HDR10 BL with DV IPT colorspace EL, backward compatible with HDR10.
Profile 8 is SDR or HDR BL with DV metadata, backward compatible with SDR or HDR.

Levels are only about bitrate and HEVC profile.

Just gave the 1917 movie a shot.

First using yusesope's v0.0.3 rev 1 tool:

Code: Select all

python src/bl_el_rpu_builder_v0.0.3_rev_1.py -bl ./BL.hevc -el ./EL.hevc -of 1917.hevc

BL_ANALYSIS: 100.0%  EL_ANALYSIS: 100.0%  BL_EL_RPU WRITING: 100.0%  (BL AUDs: 171176  EL AUDs: 171176)

ELAPSED TIME: 09m 08s
Press a button to exit

And afterwards I remuxed the 1917.hevc along with the TrueHD+ac3 core track from the bluray disc into a .ts file with the latest TsMuxer (built from source).

For the record, I didn't use mp4muxer in the process...

Here's the output file:

Well now both 1917 and Gemini Man will stutter every one or two seconds..

This is on my LG C8 btw.

So either the change from yusecope's 0.0.3 to 0.0.3 rev1 caused this. (Was using mode 1 for both versions)

Or the updated tsmuxer could be the cause.
Since the previous revision was showing profile 8..

Either one of two is upsetting my TV.
