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.

[DaMacFunkin]

While I was releasing everything on Zidoo z9x it played for me. No problem to try.

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

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!

[ghostshadow]

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

[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?

While I was releasing everything on Zidoo z9x it played for me. No problem to try.

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

Ok, but all the single layer files MEL+FEL plays correctly?

[yusesope]

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.

If you followed all the steps correctly, don't worry about what BDInfo says.

I've updated the link

I thank you for your answers and your advice.
Someone on another forum posted this to me :

A profile 8 file with EL?
A file with BL encoded and with RPUs that become completely random?

This file is a quantum file: it is so wrong it can become correct.

But you know what? This file will still trigger DV on your TV!
And we will all live happily ever after!

For the last time: my advice does not change.
You are free to ignore it!

No worries, I don't change. It was just to show you because this person tells me that he can encode dolby vision uhd in x265, I told him that it is not possible and he posted me this mediainfo telling me that he worked very well. That's why I submitted it to you.
Indeed from what I understand in what you said, the dolby vision logo is displayed, the dolby vision is activated but the metadata is completely wrong. In fact the television either displays completely false colors or it has to fall back on the HDR10 static metadata.
This is the conclusion I draw from it.
Anyway, thank you for your great job, and for your patience.
cordially

The mkv of Doctor Sleep an The Shining (MEL original) do not play in firestick 4k, sound and black screen. Anyone with the same problem?

[mike admin]

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

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

Ok, I stand corrected - this is not FEL, but I don't know how to call this stream! I was under impression that disable_resid flag means "disable residue" which means "disable EL". I was under impression that this flag is only present on single-layer streams. If I am right, then this is not a MEL or FEL - this is "DEL" - "discard fake EL". Where did this source media came from?

[blenky]

Excuse a newbie question! Do I understand correctly that the instruction in post 176 are to create the DV video file only. This would then need to be muxed with an audio track? If so what method should be used? Thanks
