Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[daddy]

Now I've seen multiple members claiming this works for them.
Dual track FEL movies created with mp4muxer.
But for me it does not play at all.. all I get is a black screen and a spinner, both in Emby and from usb disk using the builtin mediaplayer.
Something wrong with the above steps or commands?
Any help would be nice

Extract BL EL (try without audio first)

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe -i F:\BDMV\STREAM\00058.m2ts -map 0:0 -c copy BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy EL.hevc

mux the mp4 video profile 7

Code: Select all

mp4muxer_64bits.exe --dv-profile 7 --input-file BL.hevc --input-file EL.hevc --output-file mp4_dv.mp4

Play mp4_dv.mp4 on the LG player (by usb or dlna) and see if it works.

some FEL movies i made:
Terminator 6
Hunter Killer
Watchmen
Fast & Furious - Hobbs & Shaw
Aquaman
John Wick - Chapitre 3
Fast & Furious 8
Mission Impossible 1-2-3-4-5-6
Jurassic World 2 - Fallen Kingdom
Gladiator
Transformers 1-2-3-4-5

note: Geminy Man DV track is MEL (3%) and can't be play in DV on LG without stutter.

Ah that does seem like a plausible explanation. I personally have never gotten profile 7 files to work on my B9, but people previously in this thread have reported that dual track dual layer profile 7 mp4 remuxes made with mp4muxer play without issue on their LG C# internal players. If anyone with a C# TV can try a mp4 prof7 remux of an FEL movie, that would be helpful.

Dual track dual layer profile 7 mp4 remuxes made with mp4muxer play without any problem on internal player of my c7, c8 and now c9. Except Gemini Man. Still can’t figure out a way to play it smoothly at correct 60fps. The hdr10 version plays fine but not the dolby vision version.

My mp4 mux of Gemini man with ac3 audio has always played fine on my C9 via internal Plex app, Plex server is hosted on shield 2019 pro on same local network.
You need to turn of all internal processing on your TV for DV 60fps.

I'll try to disable processing on my TV then.
To be honest I never changed a single thing apart from the OLED brightness, since it's far too bright when watching TV at night.

Maybe Plex or Shield can handle Gemini man but the tv’s internal player can’t. I turned everything off but it never looks like true 60 fps.

Created Dual layer [BL+EL+RPU] With AC3 audio Gemini Man in MP4 container using DVDFab , it plays fine on my B9 internal player through usb with 60fps.

My personal opinion of 60fps is why????
I sat watching the film and turned it off, it just looked like ‘soap opera’ it was just too smooth and TV like.

Has anyone had success creating a DV MP4 from a remuxed .mkv? I demux the video streams and AC3 audio from the .mkv, put it through mp4muxer, and it runs fine. However, on my TV, it's just a black screen. The raw .m2ts, however, will work fine. Any ideas?

I make DV MP4 from remuxed .mkv all the time and it works fine on my c9. I no longer use the .m2ts structure because for some films the main video is split into multiple files.

Could you walk me through your process? Perhaps I'm coming at it wrong.

I finally realized that with my TV (Vizio PX 75) the only time mkv to mp4 doesn't work is when I try certain FEL dv track movies. I've used my tool (dv-mp4-maker) on countless movies and it seems the really high bitrate FEL ones (>5mbps) just skip dv altogether yet still play fine as hdr10. I haven't had an issue with MEL at all. Not sure if this is your situation, but it's worth a check.

I just followed the exact steps stated in the original post, except instead of .m2ts file I use .mkv remux. Oh and 1 more thing: I don't include the ac3 audio in the demuxing, just the 2 video layers, but I'm not sure if that matters.

must be down to my TV then. I have a TCL.

Hey Grencola, I use your tool very frequently as well, thanks for all your work on it.

However, there have been times where the tool has produced errors where manual demuxing with TSMuxer and putting it through MP4muxer has worked. For example, with 1917, the tool kept putting out only a 30 minute file for whatever reason. But the file I manually made worked.

I don't think we are having the same issues. For one, I use Profile 5 because my TV doesn't support other profiles afaik. Second, I have tried turning the .mkv and raw BluRay of the same movie, Transformers for example, and only the mp4 made from the Blu-ray m2ts worked on my TV, the one from the mkv remux didn't play. No idea what the issue could be, but my TV just won't play mp4s made from a remux.
