Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

[cipher]

There supposedly working on supporting Dolby Vision, right now it will not work using MKVtoolnix

Angryunibrow, when you say they are working on supporting Dolby Vision, do you mean supporting DV in general or the specific implementation of DV that the MakeMKV team has enabled in version 1.15.1? The reason I'm asking is that MKVTOOLNIX has allowed us to select the DV layer for a while now which creates an MKV with this track.

https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/issues/2784

It looks like that Request is referring to MP4 file support with Dolby Vision. Also, whenever I've selected the Dolby Vision track from a UHD in MKVTOOLNIX it would create an MKV with a Dolby vision track that had a codec id of V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC and not Quicktime like the FR description.

Now, I'm not saying the DV track they are creating would work anywhere (I've never seen that online), but I just wanted confirmation that MKVTOOLNIX won't alter the DV track we can now create with this latest version of MakeMKV. If it does alter the DV video track, then I'll temporarily store the other MKV alongside my main "DV" MKV until they support merging MKV's without changing the DV track.

For those that are looking to make this work in the easiest way possible:

1) Rip to MKV with MakeMKV
2) eac3to titlename.mkv 2: titlename.thd+ac3
Note: titlename should be replaced with the actual name of the MKV
3) Add the MKV and the thd+ac3 track to TSMuxer
4) Remux to TS

I've done this to a few of them. Currently watching Ready Player One on my SHIELD Pro 2019 in Plex as we speak. This is fantastic.

Hi, I succeed with the previous method without using MakeMKV, now I want to give it a try in this but I'm not very into eac3to. I'm using the version with GUI 1.2.9, after selecting the file, what should I do?

About TSmuxer, shall I use the nightly version or also the standard one is fine?

Uh, never really used the eac3to GUI. I assume you just set an output file with the settings you have listed there and output the THD+AC3 file. As for TSMuxer, I'm using a custom one but you can try the nightly. The normal version won't work as it's not been updated for DV....that's a recent addition.

In step 1, do you use the m2ts file after opening up the disc, or the mpls file? Should i leave all languages checked?

I'm confused by your question. Step 1 is to rip the disc to MKV using MakeMKV so you're not doing anything with m2ts or mpls files. You're using MakeMKV to select the proper title and rip it to MKV. I personally don't keep languages I don't care about. My default profile rules in MakeMKV is to select only english HD audio tracks and PGS subs. Everything else gets deselected, including any core audio tracks. But that's just my rules you can select what you'd like to keep.

Related question - does anyone believe that projectors will one day be able to do anything with DV input?
I mean, ones that are for consumer market - not those that are $100K units or whatever.

Yeah, I used the mkv. i think the issue before was that i didn't let eac3to completely finish, hence freezing 90 secs in.

I've got a ts file that now plays dolby vision/atmos streamed from my unraid server to my 2019 shield all hard-wired over local network, but it's choppy. When I compare the ts file to the whole disc backup playable from my nas on my oppo 203, there's no choppiness to the playback.

I'm just trying to go through and try and figure out where I might have gone wrong. Are you having any choppiness issues? It's like the movie is going at 20fps instead of 24fps.

[SamuriHL]

Nope none whatsoever. I watched bumblebee earlier with zero issues. I'm absolutely loving it.

try turning off the new player in your plex settings and make sure frame rate match is turned on. both options can be found on the same line under plex settings.

I hope so. Seems like projectors lag behind tv tech by a couple of years. DV would be hard for PJ's bc you can't standardize the image due to everyone's set up being different. I'm just hoping hdmi 2.1 PJ's will be announced at cedia this year, but i'm not holding my breath.

on app.plex.tv through my computer browser, or on the plex settings on my nvidia shield?

I have the same problem with my TV's (GZ950B ) internal player, my media info for the HDR format is:

Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.06.06, BL+EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible

[DaMacFunkin]

Hi,

2 questions...

People making TS or M2TS files why are you not just selecting the playlist file in tsmuxer from your decrypted ISO or BDMV folder?

Also, IF you/we get DV working from MKV on the Shield and other devices, how long do you think it will be before that ‘loop hole’ is closed?

DV from MKV will not work on the Oppo, You can’t even use Dolby’s Tone Mapping on HDR10 MKV files on the Oppo, HDR10 - TS, M2TS, ISO and BDMV work fine with Dolby Tone Mapping.

I keep saying, Dolby do not like MKV.

[Sgt Hartman]

No video and only audio for Cloverfield too.

[Sgt Hartman]

Ehm, I've a sort of stupid question about DV profiles but I just would like to know if while using all the software (TSmuxeR, eac3to, ffmpeg, etc.) we can pick the one we want or not. So far I'm getting only as final product dvhe 06.06.
