Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[ragico]

I did my second complete movie: Us
This is really a challenge for a dolby vision chain. Until today only the original disc, played in the sony x700, was really correct to my eyes. I did not like the mkv version played trough the shield because of something wrong here and there with the colours.
Then I have watched the most critical scenes of this mp4 via firestick comparing it to that of the sony ( both devices almost syncronized) and could not detect any difference between the 2. Then I compared Despicable me 3 in the same way with same results. I have not a camera to take screenshot foto just my phone. I wait for comments from others as @RESET_999.
Maestro Yusesope. BRAVO.

[RESET_9999]

I'm curious! You could also call @RESET_9999 and take some pictures together !

Unfortunately, those converted MEL files dont play on my x700 so I can't properly compare them with the original. And the shield cannot output proper colors for ANY file that contains an EL and i dont have any other device to test..

the native single layer MEL (el+RPU) movies play fines but not the converted one.

I hope other can do the comparative, because if work, it's the great deal

Yes, these converted Mel files dont play on my x700 too. So I plugged my firestick into the Pana to compare them with the discs played on the x700.

@ragico one question, the Firestick works good with .pgs subtitles in the Exoplayer?

[Meister_Proper]

This latest innovation together with the previous idea of ​​combining the two layers (BL and EL_RPU) in a single track, should guarantee the possibility of playing any FEL UHD-BD backup on Android devices equipped with a Dolby Vision decoder and capable of playing THIS file (+ my ExoPlayer) or THIS file.

The GIJoe P7 MEL triggers DV on the Zidoo Z9X, but your FEL to MEL plays in HDR10 only.

Thanks for your valuable tests!
The fact that devices like the FireStick 4K have no problems playing this type of file encourages me but the issue of the Sony x700/Zidoo Z9X leaves me a bit of a bad taste.

This is a second attempt based on a slightly different idea from the previous one.
Does THIS FILE play on both FireStick 4K and Sony/Zidoo Z9X?
Thank you!

Clearly, the test is also extended to owners of different devices (obviously interested in the FEL -> MEL).
In your posts please also specify the device.

EDIT: Done!

But you didn't let us know if it works on LG or not .
A little tip: if you don't need to make cuts, you can extract video and audio with a single command

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe -i \path\to\file -map 0:0 -c copy \path\to\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy \path\to\EL.hevc -map 0:XXX -bsf:a truehd_core -c:a copy \path\to\AUDIO.ac3

Clearly replace "XXX" with the correct TrueHD (with ac3 core) audio stream id

Thank you for all your work make!
This one triggers DV

@RESET_9999 we need you, I hope now works in the x700

@yusesope you're amazing

Unfortunately it still doesn't play on M9702 (Oppo 203 clone). I've also tried several titles, using the new beta version of your tool and my LG C8 plays all of them but for some reason, the ChinOppo doesn't.

Ok

@RESET_9999 we need you, I hope now works in the x700

We hope it works for @RESET_9999 too, but the most important response is that of @ragico.
If the file doesn't play on the FireStick, we're at the same point as before!

One device at a time !
Don't worry: your M9702 doesn't need a "conversion" FEL -> MEL.

I tested again on my PUS7304 with your FEL to MEL (1917 movie), but this time all profiles 4, 5, 7, 8 with id 1 and 8 with id 2 in exoplayer and yout latest test file, these are the results:

Profile 4 = It starts but lags until the image freezes.
Profile 5 = It plays correctly.
Profile 7 = Black screen, time does not advance.
Profile 8 id 1 = It plays correctly.
Profile 8 id 2 = It plays correctly.
fel_to_mel_test_2.mp4 (your test file)= Black screen, time does not advance.

No luck for me with profile 7 .

[iamTa]

Is there any way to combine a TrueHD track with a converted FEL to MEL or do we need to wait for the tsMuxeR update?

Looks like tsMuxeR 2.6.16 Nightly has a few DV updates.
