Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[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.

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

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.

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.

Just gotta lower the Red and Green sliders in your TV's color settings and you're all set

To clarify the profiles:

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:

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...

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:

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.

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.

[1000010]

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.

could you explain what you did? I'm really interested in figuring out why some movies don't work on the Shield.

[Mortenjorstad]

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)

Because your PR has been merged: https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/pull/264 and I built the latest rev, which should include your fix.

You have to edit the the youscope tool

open up the .bat file in notepad and add -mode 2 to the end of the single line of text in there and save it.

python-3.7.6.amd64\python src\bl_el_rpu_builder_v0.0.3.py -mode 2

If you do that you will have a dolby vision 05.06 file

So your have hacked the Blu-ray dual tracks to move the second track to an EL layer in the first track. The resulting single track is BL+EL (which should be profile 4) with HDR10 (which should be profile 8 ), but is definitely not profile 5 (which is DV IPT without EL). You should ask Dolby to create a new profile

Edit: I don't really know how I should classify the profiles for your hacked files, but I've pushed the following to tsMuxer:

Code: Select all

    // cf. "DolbyVisionProfilesLevels_v1_3_2_2019_09_16.pdf"
    int profile = 0;
    if (!isDVBL)  // dual HEVC track
        profile = 7;
    else if (m_hdr->isDVEL)
        profile = 4;
    else if (m_sps->colour_primaries == 2 && m_sps->transfer_characteristics == 2 &&
             m_sps->matrix_coeffs == 2)  // DV IPT color space
        profile = 5;
    else
        profile = 8;

Edit 2: according to https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php? ... tcount=645 , a single track BL+EL with HDR10 is actually profile 6 ! However the latest DV document DolbyVisionProfilesLevels_v1_3_2_2019_09_16.pdf states "These profiles are not supported for new applications" (profiles 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6).

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 activate DV when I play the output file, only HDR.

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

Bumping this because my edit got buried - any ideas why mp4muxer isn't working for me?

I've now tried with Annihilation and Aquaman remuxes. Could it be because I'm starting with the remuxed MKV? But I know other people on this forum have said they were able to rip BL/EL from a remux MKV with no problems (as long as they were using mp4muxer and not yuseopoe tool).

Thanks everyone for your work on this project. I've read through pretty much everything and its been extremely helpful.
