Ah, ok thanks! I will look around for a different version just to make things simpler. What happens if you don't edit the L5 active area? Will the black letterbox bars be off color or grey?

It could cause some visual defect as @Quietvoid explained recently.

Hi, I'm new here and I want to tell you that I really appreciate what you're doing here. I have a big problem with some BDMV files (few, but very important), Gladiator, Braveheart, Interstellar, Saving private Ryan. I run them on the UBP-X800M2 on USB and for information, the running time is 0.00.00, why? , can't scroll back and forth, why? I passed them through tsMuxeR (M2TS), for Dolby Vision and nothing, they behave the same, what can I do, they can be solved? Thanks for any suggestions.

so the command that im using in ffmpeg is not working....

it creates like a really small file and lots of errors in my cmd
this is my command based on the uhd to profile 8.1 for dual track dv files:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i "F:\conversion\The.Godfather.1972.2160p.BluRay.HEVC.TrueHD.5.1-ESiR[IPT]\BDMV\STREAM\00005.m2ts" -ss 0 -t 120 -map 0:0 -c copy "F:\conversion\exit\BL.hevc"

the original:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i path\to\the\file.m2ts -ss 0 -t 120 -map 0:0 -c copy path\to\BL.hevc

the cmd output

Do as @Gatorman suggested and use my script...
everything is automated, you don't have to mess with cmd-lines anymore:

does this also work for profile 8.1?

the video is a profile 7 to profile 8.1 conversion

i accidently closed tsmuxer after it was done in the CMD with your script
is this the right settings to convert after its done with the cmd stuff? or do i change anything else?

it doesnt matter if you close tsmuxer without muxing. the P8 file is still in your output folder.
But since you're using a shield, you should edit the bat file and change the muxer to mkvtoolnix.

I appreciate your responding and all the time you've put into this thread and the tools! Much appreciated.

I am still a bit confused... Perhaps I'm misinterpreting things, but the version I have is cropped, meaning there are no black bars in the web-dl. The resolution is 3840x1606. I just demuxed it again and extracted the RPU, and when reading the RPU there is L5 section and no active area offsets. Perhaps I am missing something, or I got a bad release? Thanks again.

The web-dl I have needs a cut at the beginning to match the length of the UHD BD but I haven’t had time to work out how much to cut and how best to do it.

@gacopl I had no time to run your tool, so maybe you can answer me here. Does your scrip create MP4 that is hybrid format? I mean, DV+HDR10 compatible, so devices with no DV support will still run HDR10? Thanks.

[rosavanwinkle]

Your tool worked perfect in combination with your video thank you very much.
i do have one question that might be a hardware issue or setting on my end i messed up
playing the movie with truehd will not activate the dolby vision,it goes to hdr,but when i select the ac-3 audio layer it will use dolby vision

Open both the web-dl and the HDR10 mkv (made with MakeMKV) in StaxRip. Then preview both versions of the film. Find the exact same frame in the film, in both files, and note which number of the frame it is frame for each version. If the web-dl is longer, subtract the total frames from the UHD/mkv from the total frames of the web-dl. Write this number down. You will use this number to remove frames from the web-dl, but note, that frame removal is inclusive so you must enter the number that is one less than the frame difference you calculated. So, if for example: [Frame number of web-dl] - [Frame number of UHD/mkv] = difference in frames. Then you take this number and subtract one.

There was a tutorial video that was shared that outlined the process, check it out here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold ... nKkuCEGqg4

Please note, in that video, frames are being ADDED. Your process will be roughly the same, except you will be choosing to add frames rather than remove them.

I don't know... what container did you use? shield? which app...

last time I checked, MKV DV + TrueHD works on PLEX/Shield.

I'll redo that video because it is outdated and there is an error in it... I treated the frame duplication as inclusive when it's not. Only the frames removal is inclusive.

i use the plex app straight from the android store,server is on a seedbox but even on my normal pc plex server it uses hdr with truehd,maybe its a setting i wronged in either mkvtoolnix,plex server settings/plex player settings
