no problem on the x700 for the single track FEL or MEL profile 4
FEL:
https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/6715
https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/6727
MEL:
https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/6724

I'm not capturing any difference between FEL and MEL on the Shield suggesting it's ''maybe'' treating all the DV files as MEL.

Thanks for excellent tests as usual.

Do we know if Zidoo Z9X can differentiate between MEL and FEL?

[userr]

Also, before i order one, can the Zidoo z9x play the following?:

- Profile7 DualLayer .ts .mp4 or .mkv?
- Profile 4/6/7 SingleLayer (made with bl_el_rpu_builder or ripped with latest mkv) .ts mp4 or .mkv?

In the folder I've put the "SHOW_HELP" file in the hope that someone will open it and start using the command line.

Ahhh good idea

I created a batch file to turn an M2TS into the required components (for remuxing into an ISO/MKV with HD audio) and load them up in txMuxerGUI:

Code: Select all

@echo off

SET FFMPEG="D:\FEL2MEL\ffmpeg.exe"
SET PYTHON="D:\FEL2MEL\python-3.7.6.amd64\python.exe"
SET TOOL="D:\FEL2MEL\src\app.py"
SET TMP=D:\FEL2MEL\
SET TSMGUI="D:\FEL2MEL\tsMuxeR\tsMuxerGUI.exe"

SET /P M2TS="Drag and drop M2TS file and press enter "

%FFMPEG% -i "%M2TS%" -map 0:0 -c copy "%TMP%BL.hevc" -map 0:1 -c copy "%TMP%EL.hevc" -map 0:2 && %PYTHON% %TOOL% -mux -fel_to_mel -bl "%TMP%BL.hevc" -el "%TMP%EL.hevc" -of "%TMP%BL_EL_RPU.hevc" && del "%TMP%BL.hevc" "%TMP%EL.hevc" && %PYTHON% %TOOL% -demux -if "%TMP%BL_EL_RPU.hevc" -bl_out "%TMP%BL.hevc" -el_out "%TMP%EL_RPU.hevc" && del "%TMP%BL_EL_RPU.hevc" && %TSMGUI% "%TMP%BL.hevc" "%TMP%EL_RPU.hevc" "%M2TS%"  && del "%TMP%BL.hevc" "%TMP%EL_RPU.hevc"

Unfortunately it wasn't possible to automate the entire tsMuxeR process as each M2TS contains different track IDs for audio, PGS etc.

If anyone would like to use the script just be sure to edit the top five variables to match your file locations and folder structure.

I also edited the second to last line in the app.py python script to remove the press any key prompt:

Code: Select all

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()
	end = print("Completed!")

It wont play Profile 7 Dual layer in Dolby Vision, only HDR10.
Do you have output set to VS10 or LLDV?

60 sec sample comes from the Spears & Munsil UHD-BD. It is a file with DV MEL but MakeMKV does not recognize it as such and generates a DV-free mkv.

This is FEL file, not MEL. The 1.15.3 recognizes it as such

are you sure? because it does look like a MEL file and BDinfo sees it as MEL.

My output is set to AUTO. Dolby Vision MKV MEL plays it nicely. MKV FEE will not play seknes it. FEL in .ts or .mp4 plays it as HDR or HDR 10

I extracted M2ts files. Then I inserted the HEVC files into MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_MEL.bat which went well and I have the file. I open DEMUX.bat, insert the file, the program starts and stops for a while as you can see on the screen.

The steps seem right to me!
Are you sure the original file is a FEL file?
If you use "MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_MEL.bat" the original file must be FEL and not MEL otherwise a mess happens!

Can you upload a 120 second sample so I can take a look at it?

And I encode the BL_EL_RPU.hevc. So logically the complete reorganization of its internal structure will be done on the BL and EL not?
Or you have to encode the BL.hevc and the EL.hevc separately.

Mon ami, ecoute-moi: il n'y a pas de software au monde capable de modifier les RPU.
Si tu modifies BL (ou Bl et EL), tu dois egalement modifier les RPU.
Il n'y a aucun software capable de faire cela !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pere, pardonne-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu'ils font...
Amen...


This is what I think about it in French (sorry for the non-existent accents but you French use too many )!
My advice is to do no encoding and to follow the instructions in THIS post (if you don't want to convert a FEL file to MEL follow the same steps but just use "MUX.bat" and "DEMUX.bat")
Hey, this is just my opinion: if you want to experiment, go ahead but I don't think it's worth it (especially if your PC takes 32h to convert a file)!

Then I have another lead to extract the RPU from a dolby vision UHD. I was able to make a dolby vision RPU Trim file, in xml, but I crashed somewhere in the software because apparently it extracted me only the metadata of an image, I had to select an image in the Trim.

Don't waste your time. My next release foresees the creation of a file with the original RPUs and a file with the edited RPUs (in case you choose the FEL -> MEL conversion). These files will be compatible with x265 but their primary goal will be to restore the FEL file when you decide to create a MEL one.

I created a batch file...

I have some suggestions

Code: Select all

SET CURRENT_DIR=%~dp0
.......collect all executables in a "bin" folder and use %CURRENT_DIR% to define initial variables.......

SET /P INPUT="Drag and drop a M2TS file or a decrypted Blu-Ray disc folder and press enter "
IF EXIST "%INPUT%\BDMV" (SET BD=bluray:) ELSE (SET BD=)
%FFMPEG% -y -i %BD%%INPUT% ............................................................

MakeMKV v1.15.2 detects the file as "MpegH HEVC Main10@L5.1" (neither MEL nor FEL)

I'm sorry mike but my only neuron is telling me it's a MEL!
I'm happy to be proven wrong!

[Tomas]

Everything played perfectly. May I ask how did you convert from FEL to MEL?
thank you very much

So these are the steps I take to convert FEL to MEL and remux with TrueHD/Atmos into an MKV:

• Extract hevc streams with ffmpeg: ffmpeg.exe -i X:\BDMV\STREAM\XXXXX.m2ts -map 0:0 -c copy X:\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy X:\EL.hevc

• Feed both hevc files from step 1 into MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_MEL.bat

• Feed single hevc file from step 2 into DEMUX.bat

• Use latest tsMuxeR nightly, add both hevc files from step 3 into input along with X:\BDMV\STREAM\XXXXX.m2ts from step 1, remove duplicate video tracks and output to ISO

• Use MakeMKV to convert ISO to MKV

These MKVs can then be played back using the modded ExoPlayer and potentially the latest Emby beta (I've not tested Emby).

I've converted and tested a few full length movies and the above method works flawlessly.

Thank you yusesope for all your hard work.

I did everything according to the FEE procedure at MEL. The resulting film according to BD info is still FEE. I can ask where I made a mistake.

My output is set to AUTO. Dolby Vision MKV MEL plays it nicely. MKV FEE will not play seknes it. FEL in .ts or .mp4 plays it as HDR or HDR 10

Which is what I said?

[ghostshadow]

You need FFmpeg (the executable is in the bin folder),

To avoid problems, if you can, use my version of ExoPlayer (HERE).

Happy testing!

The video track is therefore encoded in x265. What do you think ?
