Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

For Dolby Vision + Atmos:

Here's my success story for Gemini Man 2019 which is a 60fps movie which plays much more fluent.
I'm using Fedora 31 Linux but I've also posted windows links

Tools:
- ffmpeg - compiled from latest git (Windows build: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/)
- yusesope - tool V3: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 335#p85413
- eac3to portable version with wine - https://www.videohelp.com/software/eac3to
- tsmuxer modified for DV by a5180007/justdan96 - compiled from his github https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer (Windows build: https://bintray.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/t ... UI-Nightly) (Original forum thread: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176668&page=31)
Use the latest nightly tsMuxerGUI from this link, it's more recent compared the one posted a few pages back! and a5180007 also added support for eac3 dolby digital plus! (only 5.1)

First I demux the original bluray (will only work if I compile the latest FFMpeg git from source):

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i bluray:/path/to/my/bluray -map 0:0 -c copy ./BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy ./EL.hevc -map 0:2 -c:a copy -strict -2 ./atmos.mp4

Now I have:
BL.hevc - Base Layer
EL.hevc - Enhanced Layer
atmos.mp4 - Dolby TrueHD Atmos audio

Now I use yusescope V3 tool to create a single layer DV file:

Code: Select all

python src/bl_el_rpu_builder.py -bl ./BL.hevc -el ./EL.hevc -of gemini_dv.hevc -mode 1

Now I also have:
gemini_dv.hevc - Full movie Single Layer DV

Now I use eac3to Gui to convert the atmos.mp4 to a compatible truehd+ac3 track for use with TSMuxeR:

Code: Select all

wine UsEac3To.exe

- Click Input File and select atmos.mp4
- Under Track Input and Output format change "ac3" to "thd+ac3" then click Add
- In the bottom click RUN CL and wait
When finished you will have a "atmos.mp4_.thd+ac3" file, rename this to "atmos.ac3"

Now launch justdan96's version of TsMuxerGUI then add your movie file: "gemini_dv.hevc" and audio file: "atmos.ac3".

So I have tried this method for Gemini man and Sonic 2019 and both of them freeze every 2 seconds during playback. My tv is lg oled c9. The files were stored in an external hdd connected to the tv via usb. All other souble layered dolby vision mp4 files created using the original method in the first post of this thread play fine. Maybe my tv can't properly play .ts file/single layered dolby vision file?

Well, i'm not sure, but it sounds like what my E6 did when i accidentially fed it a .mp4 with a Atmos thd+ac3 file renamed to .ac3 waaaay back.... My suggestion: Try with a clean ac3 file and see if that helps, and then figure out how to do a proper thd+ac3 track afterwards (or put both in and switch between them and see if one or both works)

Why don't just demux TrueHD track with tsmuxer? It's perfectly recognised, when muxing back with DV hevc file.

I don't think the problem lies with the audio track because when I tried excluding the audio track the file still stuttered during playback.

I have compiled a TsMuxer that forces dvhe.05.06 profile. It works nice where 08.06 played choppy in my Lg. You can find it here http://katfile.com/1uvd80v1b0zd/tsMuxer ... ).zip.html

First of all, hello everyone. Recently I bought a LG C9 and I've been reading this thread for hours. I managed to get a MEL Dolby Vision film working well in my LG internal player with eac3to, yusesope 0.0.4 and then newest nightly tsmuxer. But when I do the same thing with a FEL film (Top Gun 4K Remastered) it stutters terribly (while triggering DV). So I tried your tsMuxeR that forces profile 05.06. and it plays without stutter, but the enhancement layer is completely off. It's treated as an 8K one I think, and I only see the top left cropped part of it, on top of the base layer stream. Any idea how to fix this?

[shawnc22]

If your only playback device is an LG internal player, stick with the mp4 method mentioned in the first few pages of this thread. TSMuxer is a means to get lossless Atmos+DV into a container; you’re gaining nothing from this if your player is the TV. Stuttering with certain titles is a known issue when played back on the LG player.

I want multiple audio tracks and I have no clue how to do it with mp4. I'd love to know, if anyone could help me. Also I prefer DTS-HD MA over a Core 640 AC3 (for English). Also when I tried the mp4muxer (might be an old one, but it worked with a MEL flm before) method, the file wouldn't play at all .
What I did:

- eac3to demux BL and EL and ac3
- mp4muxer mux those 3 together with dv profile 7

Has there been any recent updates to this method? It's the only one I know that worked for me. I read about some mp4box method but that destroyed the DV metadata, somehow.
Also, how exactly do I add more audio tracks? Because when I tried Birds of Prey (MEL) with one track, played amazingly. When I tried adding another track, it wouldn't play at all.

Thanks for any advice on this.

Sorry, my modification only forces profile 05.06, the processing is the one programmed by tsmuxer. Changing that is beyond my understanding.

Right. I just tried this version of tsmuxer and the picture is broken. It does play in dolby vision without stutter though.

Anyone try out "The Invisible Man" in DV? It's got a nice juicy FEL by the looks of it.

[Arbigator]

What's the proper way to get TrueHD Atmos in to a DV movie? Every movie I've tried has been unplayable when playing back the Atmos track, but if I switch the DTS-HD it plays back perfectly. I've been using tsMuxer to demux the audio and the two video layers, then using yusesope's tool to create a profile 5 file, then muxing the audio and video tracks together. Do I need to do something special if I want Atmos?

All of these movies playback without issue in their original m2ts, with Atmos audio. I feel like tsMuxer is doing something to the Atmos track when muxing.

Using a 2019 Shield TV.

Thanks

Why are you creating profile 5 videos if you have the shield? But regardless, that sounds like you're doing all the right steps, especially if it's working with DTS. If the mediainfo also looks good, then it's likely an issue with your setup. What is your shield plugged into? It has to be a device that's capable of decoding a truehd atmos signal.

I haven't had any luck with profile 4 videos playing for whatever reason, though I haven't tried it in a while. Maybe it's related to this Atmos issue I'm having... I have the shield plugged in to a Denon x3600, normal mkv and m2ts files playback Atmos correctly, I really don't get why it's not working with these remuxed files.

Well that file plays perfectly, and it's even profile 4. Thanks for sharing that. Can you verify my process is correct?

1. Load original m2ts in to tsMuxer, demux video and audio streams. (I've also tried demuxing only the video, then loading the new file back in.)
2. Run the video files through yusesope's tool
3. Load newly created file in tsMuxer and mux with original audio stream to .ts format.

It seems like such a simple process that I'm not sure how I could screw it up...

Can you share the version of tsMuxer you're using? I've tried a few different ones, all with the same result.

Thanks for your help!

[shawnc22]

That process looks fine except I never demux the audio file to begin with, just the video tracks.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q5v4-J ... gPqCD/view

That's the version of tsmuxer that most have been using. For the last step, just load in yusecope's resulting HEVC file and then the original mpls file, uncheck the two original hevc tracks, and mux. If this doesnt work, you might want to also try the newer mkv method.
