i have a question regarding the x800m2 and cropped content. I have some P8 DV mkv files that are in a 3840x1608 resolution. When converted to .ts, this will result in grey boxes when played in the x800m2,

I tried using your scripts with 2-1-1, with all L5 values set to 0, but this results in the same grey boxes. Am i doing something wrong? Will the MA version work better?

Thanks for all the help!

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it and I bought an ATV just for cropped content.

Yes, MA will work properly because they don't crop their encodes.

Thank you! I also have a LG C2. Would it be better to play the DV file in the internal C2 player, or the HDR version on the x800m2?

If you don't care about losing lossless audio, yes.

In this case the audio is DD plus, so it's already lossy. Thank you for your input!

Hello

To convert a DoVi P5 rpu to DoVi P8 rpu is the workflow 1 then 1

Cheers

HI @RESET_9999,

First of all, thank you for all your work for these fabulous scripts.

I have some questions to see if you can all help me.

What I need is to convert ISOS UHD or m2ts DTDL( MpegH HEVC Main10@L5.1 dvhe.07.06 BL+FEL+RPU) to MKV in STDL.(dvhe.07.06 BL+FEL+RPU).

Is this what the MakeMKV app does directly? Convert an ISO/m2ts DTDL to a MKV STDL?

How can I know if the ISO or m2ts is DTDL or STDL?
And the same to check it in a mkv?

Thank you for your time and sharing this valuable knowledge.

The infamous dim dolby vision from external sources on Sony's TV.

Hi mate, I don't if you still read this thread...
I think I know what's going on with the old LLDV sony TVs. They have a wrong Edid brightness over 1000nits and Dolby vision is designed to ignore the L2 trims when the edid is higher than the rpu mastering display.
For example, this is the edid of the Sony A1 (2017):

Vendor-Specific Video Data Block (Dolby), OUI 00-D0-46:
Version: 2 (12 bytes)
Supports YUV422 12 bit
DM Version: 3.x
Backlt Min Luma: 100 cd/m^2
Interface: Low-Latency
Supports 10b 12b 444: Not supported
Target Min PQ v2: 0 (0.00000000 cd/m^2)
Target Max PQ v2: 3225 (1387 cd/m^2)

This TV, according to rtings can do only 800nits so that edid doesn't make sense and its the reason why L2 is ignored and L1 is applied inaccurately..
see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29ed65Aq5K0

Solution:
Change the edid to 800nits.

Yes makemkv does ST-DL but also mkvtoolnix which was updated recently to do that.
original iso/m2ts are always DTDL

yes but you must have the HDR10 BL. You cant transform a P5 file to P8 without it(without re-encoding).

FYI, that MEGA link doesn't seem to work (I think it's for your own logged in account), but are you sharing a tool to change EDID on TVs or something? Just curious.

this is for LLDV setups.

link fixed. thanks

I used your fabulous script with the options:

4) MODE.7= DoVi Profile 7 Input (MKV/BDMV)
1) MODE.1= Bluray Disc to Single-Layer P8 or Single-Track P7
2) Workflow.2= Dual-Track Dual-Layer Profile 7 to Dual-Layer Single-Track

You can see the result in https://pastebin.pl/view/0997bf81

Is the result of this script the same as doing it with MakeMKV?
How can I verify that the file is an STDL?

Thanks!!

Yes but for now my script will be much slower than makemkv because I use the dovi_tool which cannot mux directly to MKV obviously.
In the next version, it will be as fast as makemkv because the script will use mkvtoolnix directly.
But unless you want to encode DDP audio, you don't need my script for that and you should just use mkvtoolnix directly with the mpls file.

Thanks for the recommendation, in this case it is easier for me to use makeMKV because I can even eliminate the audio tracks/subtitles that do not interest me.

Even so, your scripts are very interesting to convert to P8.

Even so, I insist, how could I identify if a file is in STDL or DTDL?

yes but you must have the HDR10 BL. You cant transform a P5 file to P8 without it(without re-encoding).

Hello

is workflow 1 then 1 good for converting a P7 MEL like Alita to P8.
