Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[Gatorman]

For windows yes. Or a hack I found which allows resolve to think it’s connected to a doblyvision monitor, that was discussed here a while back.

Thanks. I'll track down that post.

I'm trying to use RESET's DV scripts to convert my Westworld discs to mp4 using the old mp4muxer method using .ts input (7-2-4).
For this I've used TSMuxerGUI first to extract the first episode (00089.mpls) to ts file.
The audio track seems to be TrueHD and I didn't downconvert it to AC3.
When opening the ts file with the script, it will demux and use eac3to extract the AC3 audio from the trueHD track.

Here's the output:

Code: Select all

Thanks @saba30.

Is this already taken care of in batch version 1.6.8.1 BETA ? If not, can you tell the line numbers to be edited?

[Gatorman]

If you're trying to communicate with @Reset_9999, the best way is through PM.

[ArArdin]

I assumed saba30 was another person that found a bug. Didn't have the intention to disturb RESET_9999 since he's having a break.

Thanks, Gatorman.

Yeah, it was early for me when I saw those posts. My mistake.

[ArArdin]

As for saba30's bugfix post and BETA version, I found this.

First off, I think the mentioned flawed line# 17013 - in v1.6.8 - is a slip of the pen and should be 17313.
It seems the bug isn't addressed in version 1.6.8.2.BETA:

v1.6.8 lines to be corrected

17291
18044
17313
18047

seem v1.6.8.2.BETA lines to be corrected

17281
18034
17303
18037

I'm rather unsure though and feel dangerously out on a limb. Could someone confirm if my findings are either right or wrong?

[Manixx2020beyound]

Any one in this forum has a vertex2?(I guess not)
Anyone so we can confirm my hack??
Vertex2 resolve combo & windows desktop.
U will also need dobly DV extensions app.
I am very confident this should work on any pc as I’ve tested this on 3 different pc desktops
My test pc right now low end cost about the same price as the vertex2, & works fine. Struggles with hevc encode but that’s expected,

[saba30]

Yes, you are absolutely right, the lines are good in beta version 1.6.8.2

Here is the p5 original
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-5vRoc ... p=drivesdk
I don’t think their is an hdr10 version that exists,
I could be wrong.
On the raw export dnxhr 444-12bit all the doblyvision itcp colors are transferred.
The profile color space remains 2-2-2 which is profile 5 even doe it’s decoded,
2-2-2 is also detected in staxrip on the exports.

Does anyone know if the UBPx800 can play Dolby vision via Mkv?

Thanks

No it does not.
Play in TS container.

Well at the moment I only have access to HDR10 via my Samsung. My next TV will have access to HDR10, HDR10+ and most like Dolby Vision and maybe HLG as well. But if I had to choose between Lossless Audio and DV over HDR10 + Lossless Audio then DV would lose out every time. Granted I have avoided being exposed to Dolby Vision because I currently do not have a DV capable TV but I would still take lossless audio. For me audio is as important as the picture. But that might change once I have DV but Audio is still a big part of why I ever upgrade at all.

TimT

My point wasn't so much that one is more important than the other, but rather that they should both be important. If you're going to be one who insists on having the best by having lossless audio, why would you not also insist on having the best by having DV (or at least the option). I don't have an HDR10+ TV (and won't for quite awhile since I only just bought my LG OLED), but I would also argue for any capability to retain HDR10+ video as well, just as vehemently. The post I responded to originally said "what's the point?". If you don't get what the point is, then you should just be streaming off of Netflix. (granted, part of the argument was "what's the point of the current implementation without lossless audio", but that's not seeing the forest for the trees)

Relax, I don't dictate to other people what they should use and was only stating that in my opinion HD Audio was as if not more important than HDR of which I only then and still now had access to HDR10. They are both important and still don't see your point since both are offered still today. And telling someone that if they don't get YOUR point that they should be streaming movies from Netflix is insulting and reductive. My entire life I have seen more than most of the people in my life and the same thing with audio, though less now that I am in my 50s. They are called opinions, get used to other peoples differing from yours.
