Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[Sgt Hartman]

hmmm i think i'm going wrong somewhere,because i have to use the underlaying ac3 audio of the truehd atmos cause otherwise i get a error/hdr
may i have a link to your ffmpeg and tsmuxer?

ffmpeg: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html
tsMuxer (nightly): https://bintray.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/t ... UI-Nightly

Once you use tsMuxer you can get the TrueHD/DTS track directly from the original .m2ts file.

So i went through the process again (john wick 3)
and yet i still seem to have the issue that if i use the trueHD track i get a error: see image,
i have to use the underlaying ac3 track otherwise it won''t play(see image)


heres my file info aswell as my ffmpeg command i used:

real web-dl single layer DV of Stranger Things season 3 play nicely.

This is very old but where did you find a DV Web-DL? I've never seen that, only DV from Blu-ray rips.

There are 3 single layer DV profile 05.06 web-dl releases circulating on the web.
Stranger things S03
Mandalorian S01
Star Wars New Hope (which I successfully added a trueHD Atmos track)

the last two can be found on one of the most known public torrent websites. ST can be found on a Russian tracker.

Very interesting. BL+RPU makes sense since I get BL+EL+RPU from Blu-rays. I never got the AC3+THD to work on my TV though.

I watched the Mandalorian on the native Disney+ app with DV and it was unremarkable, but good to know the scene can rip DV from streams. I wish there was more DV available since basically everything on Netflix and Disney+ has it.

Very interesting. BL+RPU makes sense since I get BL+EL+RPU from Blu-rays. I never got the AC3+THD to work on my TV though.

I watched the Mandalorian on the native Disney+ app with DV and it was unremarkable, but good to know the scene can rip DV from streams. I wish there was more DV available since basically everything on Netflix and Disney+ has it.

I see people watch Mandalorian on Disney+ and say it is fake hdr with max luminance never exceeding 200 nits. However when I download the webrip x265 10 bit torrent version of the show and watch it on my oled it doesn't look like fake hdr. The specular highlights definitely are way above 200 nits; explosions and lasers are even blinding at times. The overall presentation is better than some ultra hd bluray even. The only complaint is the blacks look elevated in dark scenes, shadow detail is not the best and there's some color banding on the sky. Not sure if there is a diffencence between this version and the streaming one.

I'm not sure what is going wrong when I try this, but no matter what I do the files stutter like crazy when I try playing them through plex on the 2019 Shield, when I hit stop the Shield is unresponsive for about 10 seconds as well. I've tried multiple versions of tsMuxer, and mode 1 and 2 of yusesope's tool. Though when I try mode 2, media info reports the file as profile 08.06 rather than profile 5 for some reason.

I have a 2019 Shield non pro, and a LG B9

I'm currently using version 3 revision 1 of yusesope's tool and the latest tsMuxer nightly.
I demux the m2ts in tsMuxer, then put them in yusesope's tool, then back to tsMuxer to remux with the audio track.

Can anyone using a Shield let me know their exact steps and which versions of the software lead to smooth playback?

Thank you!

use this version of tsmuxer, then the output will be dhve05.06 instead of dhve 08.06

try turning off the new player and make sure frame rate match is on in the plex player settings

[SamuriHL]

Yeah make sure the refresh rate matches the source video. If you're playing 23.976 content at 59 or 60 it'll cause issues.

Hello. sorry for my english, i'm french, i use google translation.

I have been trying for 1 week to put fast and Furious 8 in dolby vision on my tv lg oled65e9 but either I have a black screen and the sound, or the dolby vision logo which is displayed but the image stutters, or the dolby vision logo is displayed but the image displayed has 2 filters.

I used the tools provided in the previous pages.

I used the same technique on the joker film, and it works perfectly.

how to explain that the film fast and furious 8 does not work but that the wild movie yes.

I use iso

i'm not sure where your issue is atm,for that reason i shall follow my personal procedure of doing this and see what goes on. i'll keep you posted

Hello guys,
I've been reading you out extensively in this thread but have yet to find clear steps for dummies and maybe my post will help those like me that are seeking for answers. I bought the new Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro to replace my former one that wasn't supporting the HDR/Dolby Vision. I've spent countless hours learning the 'Do's and Don'ts'. I learned the hard way that MKV files weren't able to do DV but then learned that they do since I have two LG demo files that proved me otherwise. That Kodi wasn't able to play it either. That the Amazon Prime app on the Shield (not the one on the TV) had issues with DV recently as in it wouldn't play Carnival Row or Jack Ryan at all, and that the team was working on a fix. That Plex was the way to go, but couldn't play Blu-ray containers/image/iso/BDMV/etc. That even while selecting the right .m2ts, I only get HDR out of the movie. In the end, on the Shield, the only DV I was able to get was from two LG demo files (MKV format).

TL;DR...I've summarized the next step in my quest for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos as in the following: FFmpeg or MakeMKV---->yusesope's tool---->tsMuxeR (nightly)

Question #1- Clear steps that anyone can follow? I found this post but I'm sure the steps changed since then?

Question #2- yusesope's tool, I guess yusesope is a user? A search confirmed this. I have yet to find the tool. I've looked but maybe I'm lacking too much sleep and this confinement is not helping the cause. *Took one last look through the 414 matches* Found this: https://forum.mrmc.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1 ... 310#p25425
Is that it?

Question #3- Why are people picking AC3 over True HD or Atmos?

Question #4- Please?

Thank you guys...going to bed. It's been a long unfruitful night/morning.

Cheers!

alright lets do this
Question 1
#1 first step is to obtain a ISO and unzip/demux it so you got the raw files
#2 open up a cmd in ffmpeg folder and use the command:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe -i file:"/path/to/my/bluray" -map 0:0 -c copy ./BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy ./EL.hevc -map 0:2 -c:a copy -strict -2 ./atmos.mp4

as a example:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe -i bluray:D:\Test\iso\John\ -map 0:0 -c copy D:\Test\2.exit\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy D:\Test\2.exit\EL.hevc -map 0:2 -c:a copy -strict -2 D:\Test\2.exit\atmos.mp4

this will create 3 files: BL.hevc,EL.hevc and atmos.mp4
#3 we then use the tool made by Yusescope. its very easy with the batch file.
this will merge the BL and EL file together.
#4 while we are at it we can go into eac3
- Click Input File and select atmos.mp4
- Under Track Input and Output format change "ac3" to "thd+ac3" then click Add
- In the bottom click RUN CL and wait
-When finished you will have a "atmos.mp4_.thd+ac3" file, rename this to "atmos.ac3"
-(you can delete the old atmos.mp4)
#5 the last step is to open TSmuxer and mix the hevc file and atmos.ac3 file into a .TS file
that will give you a playable single layer dolby vision movie

Question #2 yuescope tool is indeed made by a user
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 413#p85413 here it is. he updates his original post.

Question #3 Theirs a few issues with true-hd and atmos working in the current conversion method. that's why we use the underlying ac3 core audio file that comes with atmos.
when we try playing with atmos plex either spits out a error or plays it in hdr instead of dolby vision.

For those that have been unable to get DV+Atmos working in a TS container on the 2019 Shield Pro (only 2019, there is no DV support on previous versions), download the demo mentioned in this post

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18602&p=85793#p85786

If it works, then you're doing something wrong in the remux process. If it doesn't work, then it's something wrong with your plex set up

Edit: previous sample no longer available. try this instead: https://mega.nz/file/YSxhkSLK#fkfy54tYV ... xIOBZLyGR4
