Are the Oppo 203 (now discontinued and sold online for nearly $1000), the Sony x700 and the Sony x800m2 the only bluray players on the planet that are capable of playing all types of dolby vision file? If so that's pretty crazy.

I'm not an encoder expert but FEL will increase the bitrate for sure and you can try to match the buffer to your handbrake settings.
the script: vbv-maxrate=160000 / vbv-bufsize=160000
your cli: vbv-maxrate=25600 / vbv-bufsize=25600

PS: FF RW is most likely be buggy with the mp4 container using your handbrake settings though. TVs don't like open GOP encodes

pretty much but I just found something concerning about our beloved x700/x800 with low nits real content Five.Nights.at.Freddys.2023 : https://slow.pics/c/R0A9O244
according to the original brightness and metadata plot(L1 L2), only the Shield makes sense here.

Hey guys, it's been a long time I've visited this thread. About a year ago I've decided to leave/mux everything to profile 8 in mkv as this has the most compatibility on my Philips TV 65OLED934 (2019). There were times where Plex would let me play single-layer profile 7, but plex patched that out a while ago.
For all of the characteristics the Philips Android TV is very similar to the Sony Bravia A8H from the sheet.
However, I've recently tried to watch some content on an LG G3 and noticed that it wouldn't play DV Profile 8 in mkv, this is the command I've used to mux the content to mp4:

Sorry could you explain what the screenshot indicates?
And do the current issues with the x700/x800 only happen with dolby vision files but not dolby vision discs?

Reference: original HDR frame is 92 nits , Edid is LG C2 (896nits). L2 trims is a positive lift (brighten), L1 is 100nits

x700 L1 + L2 original is 82nits (darker than HDR10, doesn't make sense)
x700 L1 only is 66nits (much darker than HDR10, doesn't make sense)
ATV L1 + L2 original is 93nits (trims bring the brightness to the original level)
ATV L1 only is 76nits (darker than HDR10, doesn't make sense)
Shield L1 + L2 original is 114nits (expected brightness for this type of L2 lift)
Shield L1 only is 94nits (same as original brightness. expected for a 100nits L1 on a 896nits TV)

Only the Shield seems logical here.

plots (shot is around frame 1200 IIRC)

No idea about handbrake but the script in my signature can bake FEL to P8. Workflow 8-6-1 but it requires an nvidia GPU.
it can also encode P5 to P8, HLG to HDR10 or P8 to P8

When will 1.9.8.6 be released? Github latest version is 1.9.8.5

Cheers

idk, I haven't made enough changes yet.

- Added PGS/SUP to srt (auto OCR) (line 80 default = NO)
- Added an option to compare SDR in an HDR container for workflow 7-2 (line 132 default=NO)
- Added an option to force mp4box_2 (line 16 default=NO)
- Tools: Subtitle.edit must be added in the tools folder. (only needed if line 80 = YES)
- Tools: mkvtoolnix files must be updated to the latest version.

Windows Movies and TV app support Level 5 surprisingly (and also cmv4.0). Only HDMI device to support L5 so far.

I wanted to thank you for the help with your script. I have adjusted the encoder settings and arrived at bitrates very close to what I was getting in Handbrake. On the next update, would you be able to add an option in your workflow to choose a subtitle track to burn into the video? I always burn any forced subtitles so that I don't need to mess with OCR-ing and organizing multiple subtitle files. I am currently looking into AVISynth plugin "SupTitle" to manually add to the avs script before it kicks it over to X265.

Hi Reset

I have HDR10+ metadata but it is 24 frames ahead of my UHD mkv.
Is it possible to resync and inject this with the DoVi scripts ?

Cheers

If I have a P5 DV in MKV and a HDR monitor,

1. Which workflow should I use to make it work with windows app?
2. Do I have to turn on HDR in the windows settings too?
3. Any other requirements?

Maybe, not sure. I'm not a fan of hardcoded subs.

Nop, my script cannot resync hdr10+.

1- set mp4_version=NEW and workflow 5

2- yes

3- HEVC and dolby vision extension.

EDIT: Nevermind. I think it's because the Dovi Scripts files were not placed inside a root folder of the hard drive.

I'm running workflow 4-3 to add silent AC3 core to DV MKV file. Not sure why it says: "The system cannot find the file E:\Films\FILM". My DV MKV file path is: E:\Films\[movie name]\backup, while the DoVi_Scripts_TS. bat file and tools folder are in E:\Films\FILM MUXER\DoVi_Scripts

the script folder doesn't have to be at the root drive but it doesn't like when you put it in a path with space or special characters.

so you just had to remove the space in E:\Films\FILM MUXER\DoVi_Scripts
