Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[BringerChaos]

Is it possible to re encode the BL.hevc and use that along with the EL.hevc to make a smaller sized Dolby Vision capable file?

Yes, check my posts in this very thread. (page #170)

Cant delete post so i just edit it and remove it, cause question has been answered

[Liersi]

are you saying youre playing profile 4 (04.06) mp4 in MrMc on 2019 shield?

I only saw this question now. As you probably read further down, MrMC crashes after a while. Didn't realize this while testing short clips. They're .ts in my case, not .mp4, but I'm sure it comes to the same thing. MrMC does pick up on the DV more reliably than Plex, though, so I'm sad that is ultimately crashes. Last night, Plex wasn't sending LLDV at all with any of the files that worked previously.

Is it possible to convert FEL -> MEL or use only RPU ?
FEL is to much data.

so far not possible to convert FEL to MEL, but you can use yusecope's tool in mode 2, I think, it creates BL+RPU

[stehohrhase]

I have recode/shrink my BL. It is now 10 GB.
EL (FEL) is 11 GB.

I have use yoseptools in Mode 2. Result: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible.

But final size is 21 GB.

I have a few MP4 DV files that play blank screen with audio on my TCL Roku R613. From reading this thread I believe it's because they need to be profile 4/5. Is there an easy way to convert those MP4 files to profile 4/5 or would I have to start from scratch?

[userr]

am i correct when i say 59.94fps + DV is beyond HDMI2.0b standard?

no you are not.
no playback issue on bluray players. My x700 play that movie at 60fps in DV+ Atmos + subs just fine.

thinking of buying x700, does it play profile 7 .ts or .mp4 with atmos from network share or plex?
im also curious, how do you know its actually recognizing DV, when u have to enable DV in settings, we dont know that its triggering and playing it correctly?
thanks

Cool, I'm glad they worked for you. Here are the steps to create them. For this example, I used Birds of Prey which is MEL. Just change the inputs/outputs to your source.


1. Extract the BL and EL to separate hevc files and any audio tracks you want. I prefer to use eac3to for this task. You can use ffmpeg if you want. Here are both commands:

eac3to N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\BDMV\PLAYLIST\00800.mpls 1) 2: N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\BL.hevc 3: N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\EL.hevc 4: N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\audio.ac3 -core

ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -analyzeduration 999M -probesize 999M -playlist 00800 -i bluray:N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY -map 0:0 -c:v copy N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c:v copy N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\EL.hevc -map 0:2 -c:a ac3 -b:a 640k N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\audio.ac3


2. Shrink the BL. I use NVencC64 for this using a bitrate of 25000k. The command is:

NVEncC_5.01_x64\NVEncC64 --avhw -i N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\BL.hevc --output-res 3840x2160 --fps 23.976 --codec h265 --preset quality --level 5.1 --profile main10 --tier high --output-depth 10 --lookahead 32 --vbrhq 25000 --output-buf 64 --aud --colorprim bt2020 --colormatrix bt2020nc --transfer smpte2084 --chromaloc 2 --master-display copy --max-cll copy -o N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\BL_shrunk.hevc


3. Then use mp4muxer to mux the BL, EL and audio to a mp4 file. The command is:

mp4muxer_64bits.exe --dv-profile 4 -i N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\BL_shrunk.hevc -i N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\EL.hevc -i N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\audio.ac3 --media-lang eng -o N:\BIRDS_OF_PREY\TEMP_FOLDER\Birds.of.Prey.(2020).2160p.UHDRip.(Dolby.Vision).HEVC.AC3.mp4


This should give you a re-encoded mp4 that is DV 04.06 with AC3 audio.

Here is the link for the Birds of Prey sample I created. It is DV 04.06 with ac3 audio.

Did anyone try this method of shrinking the BL and running in through yusetool?

it plays both mp4 and ts dual-layer profile 7 DV. But with Atmos + subs, only in a TS container.
it works via the network but not so well, thanks to the slow 100mbps ethernet port. No plex app, unfortunately.
the only downside is the bug that won't let you play 2 movies/files without having to reboot the player.

OSD says Dolby Vision HDR for real DV.
OSD says HDR only for fake DV.

I also made some screenshot comparison with the disc the mp4 and the ts... all identicals

Nice, thanks for quick answer.
If not plex then what does it support? SMB? DLNA?
Ye i read about the 100mbps ethernet, in 2020... dont know what to say.
Probably better to use wifi then

Thats just it, i cant get it working.
Im running yusetool after shrinking the BL, which goes to 100% but the window remains open and i never get the "finished prompt".
When running mp4muxer after that, it never finishes for hours :/
