Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[MastaG]

Okay.. I couldn't let go of Gemini Man on my LG C8.

It appears that when I use Dolby Lab's mp4muxer version 1.0.0 (v1.0.1 is broken) and I mux both the base and enhanced layer separately using --dv-profile 7 and ac3 audio. It DOES indeed play when I turn off all processing options on my TV (motion blah, noise reduction blah etc..).
It still stutters a very tiny bit though..(probably because the movie is 60fps).

But I can't achieve the same when I 'blend' both layers using yusesope's tool in mode 1 (BL+EL+RPU).
I tried to mux the resulting hevc with both mp4muxer (profile 4) and the latest tsmuxer nightly (which gives it profile 6).

In both muxes it skips every one-two seconds.

That makes me wonder whether the BL+EL+RPU 'merged' videos somehow differ from dual layer (profile 7) muxes.

Because I would imagine that blending them together with yusesope's tool would make it easier for the TV to decode since it's a single track..

Have you also tried muxing yusecope's resulting hevc in profile 7 with mp4muxer?

Good one!
I haven't with v1.0.0, good one
I'll try and report back.

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but if profile 5 is single layer, then wouldn't it work in MKV format without any modifications? As far as I have read the only thing preventing DV in MKV is the lack of handling multiple layers. MKV is a lot for convenient for use over TS.

technically yes, but mkvtoolnix needs to add the proper dv descriptors first similar to what tsmuxer has done. right now it makes an mkv fine but loses the dv data in process.

@MastaG
I remember Yusesope recommended to me tu use profile 5, about 40 pages back.

FYI, seems like DV has been triggered also for Elephant Man!

Who do we talk too to make that happen

This is basically just what mp4muxer does (for an mp4), that's why the actual .exe is so small.

Does any of you got the error message in ffmpeg

bd_open() failed
bluray:: I/O error

while launching ffmpeg -i bluray: D:\your_uhd_bluray_foler\ -map 0:0 -c copy D:\output\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy D:\output\EL.hevc

I have met the same issue, the workaround is finding the correct m2ts file in the bdmv/stream folder. DO NOT USE bluray protocol.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i d:\your.m2ts.file.path .....other parameter.....

If the moive contains more than one m2ts file, use tsmuxer to merge those m2ts files first.

No Atmos in .mp4 so a profile 5 mkv with Atmos would be ideal.

Pretty much, though with .ts / .m2ts now working with dv I'm not sure we need mkv. I suppose PGS subtitles and proper chapter support is handy to some people (pgs to srt is such a simple conversion, and who even uses chapters? ).

use tsmuxer to make a .ts file with atmos.

I still use chapters! to the point of digging up an old plex metadata plugin to add them onto ts files during the import process

Yeah, just throw it in TSMuxer like Grencola said.

I agree, even the atrocious Roku Media Player plays .ts files. Though, It doesn't change much for me since it doesn't do DTS or True-HD, just E-AC3.

I use a shield, but the Plex app on LG TV's will not play a .ts DV file. So mkv would help others
