I also stumbled across this that looks promising. I have never tested it though.

All is OK, work with .srt

The same with sub2bd, work with a .srt but not with my test .ass

Seems to be something wrong with that file. It can't be opened in Aegisub either. It opens in Subtitle Edit though.

Good to know ! Thanks. But I know that SubtitleEdit has at least some limitations when it loads the ASS streams. For example, with BD3D2MK3D, I have created a tool to convert SRT to ASS 3D. Of course, each subtitle is duplicated and the two instances are resized and displayed at a different location on screen. SubtitleEdit can read that 3D ASS files, but it refuse to show the two subtitles of the 3D view at the same time, and therefore it highlights the second one as illegal. I suppose it has also other limitations, as programs able to display all ASS streams without problems are very rare. The complexity of that format is enormous. For example, a subtitle can be animated to follow a character on screen ! Only a few players can display that correctly.

@LowDead
Don't work with any sample from https://hhsprings.bitbucket.io/docs/...title/ass.html

@r0lZ
You are right ASS is very complex. At least we can hope improvements because SubtitleEdit is updated at present, Aegisub is from 2014 and EasySup from 2010.

I'm quite surprised to hear that. I am importing ass subtitles into SE and export as BD-SUP for years without problems.
Maybe it's in your workflow?

I did not know that this was possible. But anyway. currently. SubtitleEdit doesn't support everything possible with the ASS format. It's probably why I have assumed that it can only keep the strings, timings, colors and style (bold, italic, underline), in other words, everything supported by SRT. As far as I know, it doesn't support at least some of the other features, such as the font, scaling, animation, etc..., and especially multiple subtitles displayed at the same time (and for that last point, I am absolutely sure). See my reply here.

See my reply here.
Ah okay. I never worked with animation, and - as you know - not with the type of 3D subtitles that you are constructing in your tool. I'm sure there's a lot more to Aegisub and ass subs than I usually require.
I can confirm however that during export SE does honour the font's sort, size, colours & offset).

Hey there, I've just purchased a Sony XH90 (X900H) TV and the Dolby Vision learning curve is...steep, to put it mildly. After a week of research, I now understand that I can only play single layer DV files & that profiles 5 & 8 work fine on my TV (tested with 4K60fps samples that look stunning).

What I'm now trying to do is to turn a DV dual layer movie into a SL DV one (profile 5/8). I have the 2 hevc files (movie + dv "video" track + ac3 audio) and the necessary tools (nightly tsmuxer + mp4muxer) but I'm not even sure this is even possible after searching this huge post & makemkv forum... no one mentions doing that / there's no guide pointing in the right direction.
So...simple question: is this hopeless or am I missing something? Cheers! And thanks for developing great tools like that.

Have you tried playing dual-layered Dolby Vision files muxed within the .mp4 container (along with either AAC or AC3 audio). Such files play okay on my 2016 LG

For more info, see here: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...84#post1868184

yes they don't play on Sony Tvs, only LGs. Still looking into this (DvdFab apparently generates decent single layer files from uhd discs but... it's quite expensive).

Okay, try the following: -

* Use MakeMKV v1.15.3 to back-up your 'dual-layer' 4K UHD Dolby Vision disc's into 'single-layer'.mkv muxes.

* Use one of the newer 'open-source' TSmuxer GUI builds to re-mux your 'single-layer' .mkv mux into 'single-layer' .ts contained muxes.

I can confirm that such .ts muxes also play perfectly on my humble 2016 LG television in Dolby Vision.


Cheers

MakeMKV DV remux are still dual-layer files. The layers are just merged in one track (BL+EL+RPU).
If you want a single-layer file (BL+RPU) you can use @yusesope tool MUX_AND_CONVERT_TO_PROFILE_81.bat: https://mega.nz/file/mdU00TZR#bCiuGx...Lti5rjLOOKESeE

"Great success", to quote Borat. This is exactly what I was looking for. First experimentation looks promising: I've produced a .ts file that triggers dolby vision in Plex on the tv (but plain HDR in Sony's own media player, I'll look into it).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Edit: I believe my ts file plays regular hdr10. I've remuxed using mp4muxer and I have a much better visual quality in dv, triggered in all players of the tv. The ts file reports a dv profile of 8.07, the mp4 one is 8.06.
I'm very happy with the mp4 mux ����

Support for Dolby Vision playback across devices is so bonkers!

Personally, I would have thought that my old 2016 LG television would be miles behind what's currently supported. But it plays most variants of Dolby Vision (up-to 30fps).

Using the 'Black Panther' movie as a source, I've just used that software to create an Dolby Vision BL+RPU .hevc back-up. And after muxing the elementary .hevc stream into the .ts container, I can confirm that my OPPO-UDP-203 plays the file perfectly. But my 2016 LG televisions media player app gets caught in a loop...

yeah @yusesope is a very smart person. All the files created by his tool play flawlessly on my Sony x700 without the famous dual-track dual-layer TS bug.

-ST FEL or MEL (BL+EL+RPU)
-ST FEL to MEL (BL+EL+RPU)
-DT FEL or MEL to single-layer (BL+RPU)

I don't if the following is a problem, or not. I took a MKV file and made into a Blu-ray ISO file and then burned it. When I played it back, it didn't start at the beginning of the movie. It started at the first chapter mark, which wasn't at time zero. Why? No matter how many chapter marks there are, even if it is zero, shouldn't playback always start at time 0? I made sure there was a chapter mark for time 0 and not knowing if it was an issue, or not, I checked BD-ROM V3. That worked.
