Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Apologies if this has been asked a million times before, but these profile things (which I know nothing about)... It seems there are DV profile 5 and DV profile 8 and maybe lots of others. Does 1.15.3 always make one particular profile or does it vary depending on I don't know what ? Thanks. It is ...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Hi, when I try to rip a movie, I'm getting 2 almost identical options. 1 with chapters etc and 1 without. I thought that this was the dual layers and that when I clicked MakeMKV the 2 options would have been converted to 1. This was not the case and I was left with 2 separate MKV movies. Was I supp...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020

My LG NS60 arrived. It is a 5/2020 manufacture date with 1.02 ROM and SVC CODE NS60. Question 1: Based on the mfr date, rom, and svc code, is there anything I should worry about before attempting flash? Question 2: This guide recommends I flash to 1.02 MK but the MK pack has the 1.03 MK firmware in...

Re: All 4K Releases Spreadsheet

Also a couple versions of films I noticed are missing are the StudioCanal releases of Leon the Professional and Cliffhanger that include DV. You have to remember that not all versions of a particular film do include DV. Terminator: Dark Fate is an example where the US release features DV but the Au...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

I see a lot of you talking about Plex. However, i don't think it will be of any use to me because i don't own any nas/synology and, if i am correct, plex needs an external transcoder. Plex doesn't need an 'external transcoder' at all. If transcoding is required, Plex will do it on whatever hardware...

Re: Noob questions on flashing BH16NS55 (1.04), sdftool

So I have made some long-term experiences with ripping a few UHD discs, quite a few BDs and many many Audio CDs. And I must say that the WH16NS60 1.02-MK firmware beats the crap out of that drive. It is fantastic! Not just with MakeMKV, but also with other software such as EAC (for ripping Audio CD...

Personally I will buy more storage, Dolby Vision should be in all its splendour.
This. Nevermind the time and effort to reencode. I have better things to do with my life.

Re: Official Dolby Vision MKV spec support

Then you have somehow tell MakeMKV to keep re-encoded base, but extract DV EL+RPU from another track. This is easy to do technically, the question is about UI. The easiest way probably would be the track ordering as well: if the second track contains Base+EL+RPU, then discard base, extract EL+RPU a...

Re: What does MakeMKV do with HDR10+ metadata?

OK, thank you.

If I had a TV which supported HDR10+ (I don't so this is all hypothetical), it would display with the HDR10+ metadata without any additional processing beyond the initial rip by MakeMKV?

Re: Official Dolby Vision MKV spec support

This however does not solve the re-encoding problem - if you have a proper DV MKV file with a single video track, you can open and re-encode it as base layer in handbrake, but you would end up with original MKV and new re-encoded base video track. If you combine them to a single MKV, you will get 2...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Hi Mike, The Hunt For Red October reports as FEL when it is reported on blu-ray.com database as MEL. The ripped makemkv doesn’t play on Zidoo at all, it just hangs. Can you fix this or is there a way to rip it correctly as Profile 7 MEL? Cheers. The blu-ray.com database could be wrong. It wouldn't ...
