Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

You're on the wrong version of python

For those who want to use the command line (on Windows, MacOS and Linux), you can use your version of Python (with python >= 3) but you must first install "bitstring"

Code: Select all

pip install bitstring

Thank you so much it's working now!

unfortunately Yusesope's tool didn't helped for my setup, since it only makes dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU and dvhe.06.06, BL+EL+RPU

what I need is dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU

Does anyone know how gat I get this profile ino a ts container or how can I demux that from an mp4?

[shroomM]

Great tool, @yusesope, thank you!

I have a question - would it be possible (and not too complicated) to reverse what it does?
For example, if I have a final.hevc file with BL+EL+RPU, it would be awesome if it could split it into two (BL.hevc, EL.hevc) or even three (BL.hevc, EL.hevc, RPU) files.

Why not just keep the BL.hevc and EL.hevc which you would need to use the tool anyway? BL is the first video layer and EL is the second layer, you get them by demuxing the .m2ts file

This is assuming I'm coming from a blu-ray m2ts.

I have a couple of already merged files with BL+EL+RPU and some with BL+RPU.
It'd be interesting to "split" them into separate layers. Maybe see if we can use the RPU with x265's RPU option, though I don't know if that would even work.

I noticed he said "Single Layer", any idea what profile he is talking about?

I noticed he said "Single Layer", any idea what profile he is talking about?

not sure, but judging by the mp4 and pcm audio I'm guessing profile 7.
Also, the guy who sent me this video said profile 5 dv rips work in kodi 19 on his shield. can anyone with a shield verify that?

Looks like it. Installed the nightly version of kodi 19 and went through a bunch of sample files I had. The only one that worked was a profile 5 mp4 that I made with yusecope's tool in mode 2 and mp4muxer. All the other profile 4/7 mp4s/ts files played in just hdr. Same file also refused to play on kodi 18.

[Jman5150]

I googled mp4mux and had problems knowing which was the right site. Before i go further does it work on mac? Or is it pc only?

Hi, I converted the iso to Dolby Vision mp4, when I turn on the subtitles the video starts to stutter. Where could the problem be? My TV is TCL ep680.

[box4m]

I noticed he said "Single Layer", any idea what profile he is talking about?

not sure, but judging by the mp4 and pcm audio I'm guessing profile 7.
Also, the guy who sent me this video said profile 5 dv rips work in kodi 19 on his shield. can anyone with a shield verify that?

Forgive me but, profile 7 is dual layer or no?

I'm trying the latest python version of yusesope 0.0.3 rev1 on Westworld Season 1 disc 1.
And it seems to hang at 100%... it doesn't get to the point where you can press some key to close.
Any ideas?

[kazuma]

the command program suddenly stopped working with birds of prey. anyone the same issue? the DV file is continue 0kb. anyone the same?

[kws53]

Have just created an ATMOS/DV for Gemini Man and have a few questions for the group. My process is simple: Clean ISO -> MPLS -> TSMuxer->TS or M2TS. Questions:

1) Why is the M2TS file 1.5GB larger? The same source file was used for both results - I simply used a different muxing option (TS vs M2TS) in TSMuxer and the TS file is 78,662,097 KB vs M2TS is 80,364,042 KB. Seems like an awful lot of overhead for M2TS. MediaInfo shows that the Overall/Maximum bit rate is 91.8/35.5 Mb/s for the TS, whereas for the M2TS file they are 93.7/35.5. Curious?

2) What is the advantage to using M2TS? My setup is NAS->X700->DV/ATMOS AVR->4K TV. It seems that the X700 has pause/FF/RW issues with TS files - same issue with M2TS?

3) MediaInfo tells me that neither file has the THD track (but MKV Toolnix disagrees, must be bug in MediaInfo). Although clearly not the case, MediaInfo audio shows:
Compression mode : Lossy
Stream size : 536 MiB (1%)

4) Both files show: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.07, EL+RPU, 8 compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible. Is this compatible with correct profile.level for usage in X700? (What is level exactly?)

Thanks in advance...
