Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[morbius]

thanks for your patience. I rip to mkv, I successfully demuxed to two hevc files and fixed their framerates and then combined. I now have a ST-DL hevc file. Looking for a work flow to convert this to mkv, I've looked through the options but can't find it?

(I tried the mkv batch muxer but on hitting return after dropping in the file it immediately reports completion without having done anything).

[RESET_9999]

you mux the new ST hevc file and audio/subs with mkvtoolnix. No script is required for that.

thanks, I use mkvtoolnix all the time, didn't realise it could read hevc files.

Also you have to use the P5 webdl and not the P8 version as your picture shows.

Oops I used P8 version with The Marvels...

Why do we need to use P5 instead of P8?

[RESET_9999]

Because the DV source is the P5 webdl and sometimes the studios decide to deliver a different version for the HDR10 stream. Marvel's Black Widow is one of those IIRC.

I am in the process of generating RPUs for some of my UHD HDR10 rips with 3-1. Pardon if this has already been asked before, but is there a recommended procedure for setting the L5 offsets on films with variable aspect ratios (i.e. Nolan IMAX UHD). Should I set the L5 offsets at 0 to accommodate the 1.78:1 IMAX scenes, or is it recommended to use the appropriate widescreen offsets, since those scenes make up the majority of the runtime?

[RESET_9999]

Should I set the L5 offsets at 0 to accommodate the 1.78:1 IMAX scenes

yes 0, otherwise if you watch on a device that uses L5 (tv internal player), there will be a letterbox for the Imax shots.

I'm using the values provided by MediaInfo, is that correct?

yes

One point in this workflow that does not have an automatic option is the prompt for the Mastering Display choice

it's because I prefer selecting MDL based on the content's actual brightness.

So, after what proved to be an educational journey, I now have John Wick 2 in DV7 FEL with TrueHD audio and the forced subs. When doing the final mux I set a delay of 1001ms on the video and the forced subs, and I have perfect audio sync with the video. The result is well worth the effort! JW1 will be much easier.

In the quote above, I asked about the 3-1 workflow for converting HDR10. Can you expand on selecting MDL based on content actual brightness? I guess there is a workflow for identifying the content brightness, and based on that I pick from one of the fixed 1000/2000/4000 options?

I received the Italian JW1 disc today

subs for the Italian BD JW1:

thanks for the link. The JW1 subs are extremely dark. I tried to fix that using the 9-5 workflow with the .bat file changed to set the brightness adjustment to 150%, but it didn't help. Any other method for fxing that?

I don't know, convert to SRT.

I measure brightness with 6-2 and select MDL accordingly.

Ok so we need to use P5 webdl to transfer DV to HDR10 bluray.

If the bluray already has DV and we just want to transfer cmv4.0 bloc to bluray, can we use P8 webdl or do we have to use P5 as well? Quite hard to find P5 webdl online.

[RESET_9999]

we just want to transfer cmv4.0 bloc to bluray

what matters is the metadata only. hdr10 brightness doesn't matter

In case I can't find the P5 webdl online to do the DV tranfer to HDR10 bluray, can I use the .bin files in your RPU folder? I just checked one and they were P8, not P5?

[RESET_9999]

yes, my RPUs are P8 synced and ready to be injected.

I measure brightness with 6-2 and select MDL accordingly.

Using 6-2 on my copy of Batman Begins, I get %frames with MaxCLL > 1000 = 12.78 and >2000 = 0. So do I set the MDL to 2000, as that's the lowest level of the available options that includes the maximum brightness?
