65kbps for DV EL LAYER is NOT FEL.

I think i will go with what the software is telling me, since its been made by people who know what they are doing and i trust their judgment. If anything changes in the future I might decided to re-rip it but for now I am happy with the results

I relly don't know, what you are talking about... info from MakeMKV on Birds of Prey

Thanks for the reply.
I checked the versions
Plex Player is latest version : 8.7.2.20952
Plex server is also latest version : 1.20.3.3437
After re-anilysing the file it showed the DoVi data. But playing the file was still in HDR

I thought the Apple TV 4K only supported profile 5? Or can it also do profile 8.1? If it can’t do profile 8.1 now I’d expect it to come in an update very soon?

Looking at the specs, it does seem Apple TV is listed as profile 5 only, so ???? How is that going to work when airplaying etc? HDR only or do you think it will convert on the fly.

Pretty annoying if the video you shoot on your new phone can’t be played back in Dolby vision on the 4k ATV. Then again, there is suppose to be a new one coming in the next 5 months

The iPhone 12 review from Verge says DoVi type 8.4

https://www.theverge.com/21524288/apple ... pro-review

But the iPhone 12 shoots video in a newer version of Dolby Vision called Profile 8.4 that’s built on a standard called HLG, or hybrid log-gamma. HLG works differently than PQ systems; it was developed by broadcasters like the BBC and NHK to be backwards compatible with SDR displays so they would only have to broadcast one video stream.

Could you plz upload the sample video file to mega.nz or google drive, I want to test it on shield tv 2019.

One more thing, are you Chinese? Mr Hong? I am from Mainland of China.

Thanks a lot for the info!
Looks like this profile is pretty new, not even specified in the Dolby Vision profiles/levels doc (which updated last year).

Here is a link of the original file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JsFd_K ... sp=sharing

The video is not shot by me. I got it from another group on Bilibili (see "BV1rv411k7GL").

Yes, I'm also from mainland China.

EDIT: Update Plex app to 8.8 and worked indeed. Thanks!!

I have another question.

Later i am gonna update my Plex to version 8.8 on my shield to see if the MKV files are gonna play in DV instead of HDR.

In the meantime i have another question

Has anybody here converted other movie files (TS of MP4) to MKV with Dolby Vision remaining as well as HD audio ?

I am trying for instance the following :

Any Ideas?

@Yusesope
I did other tests and got your MKV_Patcher to work finally.
........................
This file plays as HDR in firestick and as DV in Ugoos/shield.

Out of curiosity, what was the problem with the patcher?
It should also work on Fire Stick.
When you have time, try the files you find at the bottom of this post.
Let me know!

i just realised....

when i mux hevc file from ys's tool with mkvtoolnix, makemkv recognizes this as dvhe.07.00, BL+RPU, but created mkv is dvhe.07.00, EL+RPU in mediainfo... this is known thing...

but when i ran THAT mkv through makemkv again, makemkv recognise the mkv correctly, as dvhe.07.06, BL+FEL+RPU, and outputted MKV is also correct... dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU in mediainfo. so mkv_patcher is "not needed"... but requires more space and time.

If I were you, to be 100% sure, I'd pass the file to MakeMKV 15 more times ... you never know !
The main point is to save time and space ... that's what the patcher is for!

@yusesope
i was wondering more...

would it be possible to extract RPU metadata from the secondary HEVC stream on BD? that can be then used directly with x265 to encode directly to profile 5 or 8.1

I had already answered this question in the past (HERE).

@yusesope I followed your steps in the post above to the letter.
.........................................
However the resultant files play back in HDR10 on my Zidoo Z9X.

I have updated the POST of the 0.0.4 GAMMA version.
I think I have made some steps forward.
THESE samples were obtained with the latter version.
Do they trigger DV on your devices?
The files contain an ATMOS audio track that could create some incompatibility with those devices without decoder, e.g. LG TVs.

I have another question.

Later i am gonna update my Plex to version 8.8 on my shield to see if the MKV files are gonna play in DV instead of HDR.

In the meantime i have another question

Has anybody here converted other movie files (TS of MP4) to MKV with Dolby Vision remaining as well as HD audio ?

I am trying for instance the following :

Drop your TS file into Tsmuxer, select output as ISO and mux.
Re-rip new ISO with latest Makemkv.

The iPhone 12 review from Verge says DoVi type 8.4

Could you plz upload the sample video file to mega.nz or google drive, I want to test it on shield tv 2019.

Thanks a lot for the info!
Looks like this profile is pretty new, not even specified in the Dolby Vision profiles/levels doc (which updated last year).

Here is a link of the original file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JsFd_K ... sp=sharing

The video is not shot by me. I got it from another group on Bilibili (see "BV1rv411k7GL").

One more thing, are you Chinese? Mr Hong? I am from Mainland of China.

Yes, I'm also from mainland China.

Good News, this video sample can be recognized by Plex Media Server, and trigger Dolby Vision on Shield TV 2019.

I took a look at the iPhone 12 video: the RPUs are structurally identical to the ones my algorithm (-mode 2) produces when choosing UHD-BD -> profile 8.1 conversion.

It doesn't mean they're perfect but I'm happy with the insight I got !

This could be important for two categories of devices:

• for the new LG CX which, according to various forums around the world, seems to have abandoned (with the new firmware) support for Dual Track Dual Layer MP4 profile 7 files.
• for ATV4K. I assume (I hope) that the Cupertino people will update the current ATV4Ks so that they can play the latest iPhone videos (although Apple is always full of surprises).

OT:
Do you guys use a VPN to be able to write here or upload files to Gdrive?

[ragico]

@Yusesope

Tried your latest samples and all play in DV in shield/Ugoos
The Fel_to_Mel and Fel_to_8.1 play DV in Firestick with audio disabled (firestick do not support Atmos).
Also tried Fel_to_8.1 in ATV 4k and plays in HDR but, a quick conversion to profile 5 and it plays in DV.

Yusesope I have tried to use yr latest tool, but I am not brave enough.
I need yr instructions with a pratical example, for instance:

python-3.7.6.amd64\python.exe src\app.py -mux -exp \path\to\your\original\file.m2ts
can I write down D:\000125.m2ts? Is this example correct?

And Then:

src\Gpac\gpac.exe -i pipe://video:ext=hevc:audelim=true -o stdout:ext=ts:pes_pack=none | src\FFmpeg\ffmpeg_win_x64.exe -hide_banner -y -i - -i \path\to\your\original\file.m2ts -map 0:0 -map 1:2 -c copy -bsf:v hevc_metadata=aud=insert -metadata title="Movie Title_________________________________________________________________________" \path\to\your\output\file.mkv

Same as above? And I need "" for Movie Title?
