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

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 :lol:

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

Why not use LG's native player (via DLNA)? My ancient LG BH4120s plays .ts files so I'd think the current TVs would as well.

So after 10+ hours of agonizing labor, Jumanji did not work through any method in mkv form or m2ts form. I will begrudgingly watch it in HDR10.

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

Just drag the mlps in to tsmuxer that will auto merge all the files on output.
