Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Hey Marty,

Yes sir, I tried both of your samples... So the DV profile 7 sample didn't work at all off the USB with a hard drive on my c9.

The profile 6 one just kept trying to do load and nothing... I think the best profile for direct play off an LG TV is DV profile 4. That works for the bluray rips too because it supports the 1:1/4 BL/EL ratio that comes on UHD bluray's with DV.

I'm able to get profile 04.06 DV files to play... again, the bitrate is just too high for the C9 SOC, so I'm trying to figure out a way to compress the BL without breaking the DV. Looks like I've got some good feedback - I'll report on this thread if I'm able to get it to work.

I'll also report on my full workflow (all software involved from backup using MKV to final output/playback).

Thanks for your help tho Marty, always worth a shot!

Hi stephon1024,

Here are a couple more samples for you to try. They are all profile 4.

MP4 sample: https://www.mediafire.com/file/yd16poxk ... 9.zip/file

TS sample 1: https://www.mediafire.com/file/dyud6pxl ... 9.zip/file

Let me know how you go...

Dear all,

I'm using OPPO 205 and Sony X950G

I have a problem when playing Dolby Vision disc or MP4 muxed Dolby Vision files

How could we enforced film to full screen(No Black bar) when play back DV contains? It said this operation is not permitted when I pressed "Zoom" on the Oppo's remote

I could do full screen easily on HDR10 but not in Dolby Vision format, only Full screen Dolby Vision contain could (i.e BumbleBee, Transformer 4) I wish I could to do that for every Dolby Vision titles to enhance the movie viewing experience

How to we bypass this restriction? it could because of the metadata of second layer(1920*1080) of Dolby Vision contains prevent this to be happened, because muxing Dolby Vision using MP4 container is possible now, I would like to save hard disk space and get rid of black bar whenever possible, Does MakeMKV allow or maximise the full screen properties when muxing in MP4 format?

Looking forward for your suggestion

Wow could you show me how you created these? This is the first time a .mp4 & .ts dolby vision version of Gemini Man that my c9 is able to play smoothly at the correct 60 fps via external hdd.

Good to know deadchip12.

Did you try all 3 samples?
Did all of them work?
Was DV recognized and colors appear correctly?

[bl4ck]

hmm kodi 19 support DV single layer?

Hmm...turns out only the first 2 work. The 3rd one says "the file cannot be recognized".
Are these all profile 4 and single layer? Reading your previous posts, it seems like you reduced the bit rate of the film on these files?

For the 1st TS file, I just did the old "change the file extension" trick and that TS file has worked for you.



The 3rd file (other TS file) I created using yusesope's 0.0.4 tool and TS muxer but this file is not quite right. Mediainfo shows it as "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.04.0A, BL+EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible". I'm not sure why it comes out as 04.0A?? I wonder if there is any way to hex edit the 0A to 09??

Here is the mediainfo for it:

How did you make a profile 4 dolby vision mp4 like this? Could you let me know the steps? Previously I used profile 7 (and maybe 5 or 6) and the file always stuttered. Not sure if this time it plays smoothly because of profile 4 or lower bitrate.

[kazuma]

since yesterday i'm using the M9702 player. The DV PQ is far better in 4K iso, comparing to the profile 7 mp4's. i'm curious what the reason is? are we getting fake DV with mp4? or is the PQ of the box so good?

How did you make a profile 4 dolby vision mp4 like this? Could you let me know the steps? Previously I used profile 7 (and maybe 5 or 6) and the file always stuttered. Not sure if this time it plays smoothly because of profile 4 or lower bitrate.

To make the mp4, I used the Dolby Vision MP4Muxer from the first post (using my re-encoded BL and the EL) with command:

mp4muxer_64bits.exe --dv-profile 4 --input-file (BL.hevc) --input-file (EL.hevc) --output-file (test_sample.mp4)

[dontknowjack]

So guys is MakeMKV preserving DV metadata/tracks/etc when remuxing into the mkvs? I want to be sure as I want a 1:1 copy of the movie (not the whole blu-ray) on my computer, I don't care if there is playing support or not, I just want all the data from the m2ts file in the mkv, is that possible/is that what currently MakeMKV is doing?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but there are 160 pages on this topic.

[deadchip12]

To make the mp4, I used the Dolby Vision MP4Muxer from the first post (using my re-encoded BL and the EL) with command:

mp4muxer_64bits.exe --dv-profile 4 --input-file (BL.hevc) --input-file (EL.hevc) --output-file (test_sample.mp4)

Ok I just tried that and the file still didn't play at the correct 60fps. I guess lower bitrate is the reason why your samples play smoothly then. It seems sadly the C9's processor or internal player is not powerful enough to handle high bitrate 60fps uhd movies.

Also interested in this question

[shawnc22]

Not sure about DV7 mp4's, but look back a couple pages at the comments made by @PapitaHD mentioning that he has not noticed any difference between the remuxes made using yusecope's tool and the bdmv iso with an m9702.
