One reason I ask is because I can't crop with an odd top/bottom number (263/263) on my video file, so I'm forced to crop with 264/264. Cropping with an odd number on my video file yields the error: "YUV image can only be cropped by mod 2" (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/368 ... g-question). Which is fine if cropping is required, but if it isn't then I'd prefer to just not crop.

I appreciate all the work you've done on figuring out how to play P7 DV on various players. I noticed in your file that you don't mention the Panasonic UB820, which also has network/usb capabilities. Do you know if it's been tested? If not I'd be happy to test it to see if it works.

I've been successful in getting DV to trigger on my x800m2 playing ripped 4k UHD using your instructions. But when I try to play them, I always get stuttering in the playback. Sometimes it's worse than other times. DVD/480p plays back with no issues. Trying now to figure out where the problem lies, whether in my wifi (I don't think so, devices next to the x800m2 are getting >200 mbps download and my server is hardwired with >800 mbps upload), the server (I'm using an old computer, maybe it can't handle serving the 4k UHD file? But there's no transcoding, so I don't think it's this), or the x800m2 itself. I have a checklist that I'm going through today to try to eliminate possibilities (playing a file via usb, moving the wifi router, etc). Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

5-3?? you mean just 5 maybe?

Which container your output?

this line?
set mux_all_audio=YES

So you'll have to do it manually unfortunately:

1- disable muxing: set MUX=NO
2- run your file in 4-3 , the script will encode a silent core for the English THD track and demux the P7 ST layers
3- change the script language to french
set english=NO
set french=YES
4- run the file again in 8-2-2 or 8-2-1, this will encode the silent core for the French track
5- mux BL + EL + THD(silent core) + subs

Would it then be better/cleaner to generate a Resolve rpu in all these cases? (Just keeping the L1 metadata ).

And only keep a WEB DV if the MDl are close and also has L2 600 or 1000 or 2000 nits trims?

Would it then be better/cleaner to generate a Resolve rpu in all these cases? (Just keeping the L1 metadata ).
or better , use my script 3-1 and use the original scene cuts.

I personally go even further, I generate new L1 for movies without 600-1000trims that were done with the old cmv2.9 algo because the latest version of the algo with tunning is a lot superior IMO.

looks like Resolve the way to go. Do you discard the L2 100nit when you generate L1 Resolve metadata? or only discard the L2 600-1000 trims?
