Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

@Yusesope
Your new file plays correctly in firestick, ugoos am6plus and shield.
In sony x700, via usb, it does not start and the counter stays at 000.

Thanks for the tests
The .pgs subtitles works with exoplayer and firestick?

@yusesope maybe this method never work with x700 because is an "official player" I don't know

In the mp4 files I did not add subtitles so don't know if they are displayed in firestick.
In the DV Mkv played in shield/ugoos am6plus via kodi/exoplayer, the pgs subs work and are displayed correctly.

But normally, does the x700 play mp4 obtained with my tool (Single Track Double Layer)?

Could you please try to extract the hevc video stream from this latter mp4 file, demux it using my "DEMUX.bat", import the two bl.hevc (as first) and el_rpu.hevc (as second) into TsMuxeR and create a m2ts file to try on the Sony?

Thank you!

@yusesope maybe this method never work with x700 because is an "official player" I don't know

But why?
I need to know to understand if I'm doing something wrong!

@yusesope I don't know, is only a idea, I say that becouse it work on Android devides but no in X700
You're are the master here

Thr m2ts file plays in sony x700 via usb.
Dolby vision is triggered a couple of seconds after the play starts.
There is some heavy flickering here and there.

If I use FEL -> MEL then the resulting file size is the same as without that conversion. Is that right?
Normally MEL EL-file sizes are much lower.

Parameter -mode 2 doesn't delete EL data. Getting not a file BL+RPU.hevc, only BL+EL+RPU.hevc with similar size.

I'm using profile 5 on Windows 10 using mp4muxer. Only this works.

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

Didn't knew, ffmpeg could also extract the core ac3 from truehd.
Thanks for that mate

Unfortunately the Gemini Man movie still lags very hard, like the TV has trouble decoding it somehow.
So it doesn't have anything to do with MEL or FEL.
I guess it simply cannot handle 60fps DV.

yes, MEL Single Track Double Layer made with your tool plays on the x700... but not the FEL ones and not the converted MEL ones.

latest Tsmuxer nightly produces DV profile 7 from hevc files made with Yusesope tool.

[PlatypusW]

I’ll try and test over the weekend

Let us know!

Tested, didn’t have any problems with the .bat files with the added libraries. I used the MI6 bathroom scene that’s been floating around here (recut from my own disc). Seems to have worked fine.

I only have an LG cx and shield to test with at the moment. LG TV didn’t seem to like the file, not sure if that’s expected, I’ve never really tried that hard to get it to play files due to the audio limitations.

The shield played the file. I can’t tell if the colour issue is still there though, I was struggling to see the red push on both the MEL mp4 and the FEL mkv. I don’t think the intention of this experiment was to ‘fix’ any of that? This was more for other devices, e.g. firestick?

[ragico]

Please can you try it with the firestick?

As I said mp4 files do not support pgs subtitles so there is no way, at moment, to know if they are supported in exoplayer/firestick. I think we must wait for Tsmuxer m2ts format played via exoplayer to test this functionality.

[MastaG]

Well fukk me..

I've created four different versions of Gemini Man.
All with the same source files:
BL_EL_RPU.hevc (created with -mux -fel_to_mel as I described a few posts back)
Gemini.ac3 (the core ac3 5.1 audio taken from the Blu-ray disc)

Now I've muxed four versions with mp4muxer with only difference in --dv-profile being 4, 6, 7 (as recommended by yusesope) and 8.

Now watch this:

As you can see they all trigger DV.
But only the one being profile 08 (the last one) plays OK.

Why is that?
Perhaps profile 8 should be used for all Blu-ray DV rips then?

I'm going to try on Shield TV and also test all 4 of them with Emby client to see how well they play.
