Nop, I cannot get a match with that LG profile 4 BL+EL+RPU video or any video that has an EL.

Ah that's disappointing. I went ahead and demuxed that demo file with yusecope's demuxer and it does look like it's FEL (~200MB BL:~50MB EL), so that could explain why it's not playing it correctly.

I wonder if a dvhe.08.09, BL+RPU, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible UHD-BD rip would output proper colors. Can we create such a file with the tools we have?

I know the EL is gone but if it is color accurate, that could be a good workaround until Nvidia finds what the problem is.

Yep with yusecope's tool in mode 2 to strip out the EL and an unaltered nightly version of tsmuxer will give you a profile 8 video. I can try that with the doctor sleep scene actually. I'll post the clip shortly for you to try as well.

Here you go:

From first glance, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between this and the profile 4 BL+EL+RPU video. But maybe there will be with the vertex workaround?

As I haven't been following much lately..
But I remember that the LG C8 internal player had some performance problems when remuxing some FEL Blu-ray movies.
Examples are 1917 and Gemini Man.
It doesn't really matter whether I used txmuxer or mp4muxer (profile 04 or 06) or even dual pid (profile 07).

The only way to get those movies to play smoothly was by discarding the EL layer by merging the two layers using yusesope's tool in mode 2 (BL+RPU).

Now some people claimed they got these movies to play smooth by merging both layers using yusesope's tool in mode 1 (BL+EL+RPU) and then using an old or modified version of txmuxer which would flag the movie as profile 08.

But that is like telling your TV there's no full EL right? As profile 08 and 05 are basically indicating BL+RPU.
So perhaps the reason for these FEL movies playing smooth when setting profile 08 is because the internal player doesn't process the EL at all?

LG profile 4 BL+EL+RPU demo is really odd on my setup

Which version of TSMuxer I should be using to create a profile 7 TS or M2TS containers with my Sony X700? Is profile 7 best way to play DV UHD disk videos with X700?

Is it planned for feature makemkv revisions to create specific dv profiles without third party apps ?

The new Zidoo will support dv but profile 7 is excluded. Its confirmed that they are working on the SDK, and developing Dolby Vision support for MKV containers regarding profiles 4,5,8 & 9.

I doubt MakeMKV will support conversion to other DV profiles. The policy has always been to just copy the data over into a new container, not to translate the data into other forms beyond what's absolutely necessary to get the data into MKV form. A more likely approach, IMO, would be for players to support on-the-fly conversion into other profiles. I suppose MakeMKV could potentially write a program that allows for conversion of MKVs to other profiles. I wouldn't count on it but you never know.

Of course, I could be wrong about all of this. :)

You don't have to use the MP4 container anymore with the x700. You can remux your UHD bluray disc directly to .TS or .M2TS using this tsMuxer:

DV, Atmos and subs will work.
it appears the file has been removed. Do you still have a copy of Tsmuxer for the Profile 7? Thank you in advance!

latest build should work.

Thank you! The same thing, choose the BL and EL, keep desired sound files with subs, and go either with TS or M2TS? I just hope it will be in profile 7 automatically. BTW, which is better, TS or M2TS for X700?

yep, just remux straight to TS or M2TS, both work fine and yes it will be dual-layer profile 7.
