Shield Single-layer P8 PLEX vs Shield Single-layer P5 Movies Anywhere app

Shield Single-layer P8 vs Sony x700 Single-layer P8
https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/6834

I wanted to compare the SL P8 file on the x700 with Vudu SL P5 but accessing that streaming service is a bit tricky because I'm not in the USA.
I tried a couple of different IP with a VPN but it kept failing to connect. There is no Movies Anywhere app on the x700.

I'm already going to make popcorn !
I look forward to your comparisons as much as an episode of my favorite TV series !

Hi, I know it isn’t entirely possible to be technically correct with external screen shots but I would say the x700 is cooler, is that what you are seeing?

Hello, I tested on MIDWAY FR UHD Dolby Vision . Playback on the internal player of the Panasonic HZ1500E TV
Process below I used recommended versions of all software

created BL.hevc and EL.hevc using ffmpeg

MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_PROFILE_81.bat to create BL_EL_RPU.hevc

mp4muxer with BL_EL_RPU.hevc to create .mp4

The final MP4 is well read in DV, I watched 1 hour. No image concerns.
I tested by doing the procedure to make an mkv and add my soundtracks (DTS HD)
The MKV is read without problem but in HDR PQ

I don't know how to add the DTS tracks to the mp4 (to make an mp4 file with DTS soundtracks).
I tested to mux with FFmpeg but suddenly I have an mp4 without DV (under media info)

Pour le mkv je pense pas que mon lecteur interne puisse le lire en DV, ça vient du lecteur
For the mkv I don't think my internal player can read it in DV, it comes from the player

Did some more testing again as follows on 1917 UHD to play on Zidoo Z9X

Process below I used recommended versions of all software

• created BL.hevc and EL.hevc using ffmpeg

• MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_PROFILE_81.bat to create BL_EL_RPU.hevc

• mp4muxer with BL_EL_RPU.hevc to create .mp4

• tsmuxer to create iso muxing .mp4 and atmos audio from UHD

• Finally used makemkv on the ISO created in last step. I need to do this as the ISO created plays back in HDR10

The final MKV plays in DV fine for a few minutes but then gets choppy.

Hi, I also have a Zidoo z9x. I was rehearsing a Ninja Turtles movie. I converted in MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_PROFILE_81.bat, I converted the resulting file to .ts. The film plays, but then the film starts to tear.
Now I'm going to try to convert the movie Transformers. I'll write how I ended up.

I'm redoing 1917. This time the process is simply to use tsmuxer to create ts file muxing HEVC and atmos audio from UHD.

Already have HEVC from previous tests

Hi, so I tried all the options mkv or ts. Both profiles played but the momentum began to mow. If you managed to do it, you would write nicely. Someone wouldn't advise what it could be. I have a Zidoo z9x. Thank you

On your zidoo are you using the vs10 or not?
You tried to mux with mkvtoolnix your mp4 + your soundtracks (BL_EL_RPU.mp4 + atmos audio)

1. You go to your folder where you have decompressed mp4muxer
2. In the window at the top you click on: File --> Open Windows PowerShell --> Open Windows PowerShell as administrator
3. You type in the console : .\mp4muxer -i path\to\BL_EL_RPU.hevc --dv-profile 8 --dv-bl-compatible-id 1 -o path\to\TEST_FILE.mp4
PS : path\to\BL_EL_RPU.hevc = location of your file BL_EL

Using the new MakeMKV and tsmuxer, I was able to convert my old 2 video stream MKV to a proper DV MKV - yeah!

But although the first one looked perfect, Gladiator has a huge red push to the color and a bit of crush on the blacks.

I'm using latest Nvidia shield with exoplayer. Would the FEL/MEL converter (theoretically) fix this color issue?

As a partially deaf person I heavily rely on subtitles but so far I have not been able to get subtitles working on any of my DV files. Currently I am using following method:

Use tsmuxer to get 'bl' and 'el' Audio and Subtitles (PGS) files
Generate a bl-el-rpu file using 'yusesope' tool (mode 1)
Use tsmuxer to Mux bl-el-rpu+Audio+Subtitle and generate a .ts file.

The said files (format 4) works flawlessly with DV on my TV via USB HDD but the subtitles just wont work no matter what method I try. So far I have tried renaming the sub file similar to movie name, putting the sub file and movie in same folder, converting PGS to SRT, but nothing works. Even MPC-HC refuses to show subtitles on these files.

Is this a .ts file types restriction or am I doing something wrong here? Please help me out. Thanks.

I can't personally verify, but this post seems to say TS doesn't support PGS when using DV -

Please, I'm probably doing something stupid. You wouldn't advise me how to write a path. The BL_EL_RPU.HEVC file is saved on disk "G" in the "mp4muxer" folder. Please how do I write the path to the mp4 conversion

That sucks, so do I have any other options? Even with MP4 I cannot seem to get subtitles working and I have used the utility posted by 'Grencola' and method posted on Page 1.

"Automated" BL+EL+RPU.hevc creation for yusesope tool

Here is my solution for an "automated" BL+EL+RPU.hevc creation for device which plays only Single Track Dual Layer MEL films. Because
the use of the original MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_MEL.bat and DEMUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_MEL.bat in case of FEL films always faild. Films are hanged after a few mins or they was choppy after a few mins.

Here is a code for a simple .bat file to do the same. This is a simple batch run for FEL to MEL via ffmpeg demuxing and muxing by the tool.
In the last step you can set everything manually in tsMUXER.

Input and output paths needs to be configures for your machine. It is a simple "Search and change" with any kind of notepad apps.


When the process is finished it opens up tsMuxer with the BL_EL_RPU.hevc and with the original media file. From you can set audio channels and subs manually and individually for each movies.

Run command with drag and drop media file onto batch file.

Code: Select all

Just rename the attached .txt to .bat
