Hello!

I did some test injecting with original metadata and modified metadata (removing some frames), and i cant see any difference seeing the film.

I thought that using modified metadata, the image will flash or similar when changing scene but film goes well.
What is supposed to be?

Regards!

The original DV mp4 file had some weirdness with the FPS so I muxed it into an MKV to see if that helped but it didn't.

I also notice that the screen says that it can turn HDR10+ into Dolby Vision 8 so I tried that as well and still got an error

What is going on?
My desktop happened to have v0.61.4 which still worked. Any ideas what my issue could be? As far as I remember, you should only have to unpack the rar into its own folder and everything works right? No other other installations are necessary?

Hi Kuler!

I believe I may have uncovered a bug or some unintended behavior. I am trying to create a Dolby Vision Profile 8.4 file from a higher-bitrate base HLG stream and an RPU from a Dolby Vision stream that has a lower-bitrate on it's own. Besides trying to create a best-of-both-worlds hybrid file, it's also the file that will be most compatible across the most platforms. The issue I'm running into is that the DDVT tool seems to force a "color_transfer" function value of "bt2020-10" when the original HLG file used "arib-std-b67". The reason that this is important is that this breaks HLG/HDR recognition on many devices (Infuse on Apple devices, VLC on Android and others). Is there a particular reason why DDVT pigeonholes HLG files to use this color transfer function? Here's the mediainfo of the original HLG file (using
Quote:
ffprobe -v error -show_streams -of json -i file.mkv
:
Quote:
"color_range": "tv",
"color_space": "bt2020nc",
"color_transfer": "arib-std-b67",
"color_primaries": "bt2020",
"chroma_location": "topleft",
And after running DDVT_Demuxer to convert a Profile 5 RPU to Profile 8.4 and then DDVT_Injector to interleave the RPU in the HLG file, here's what the mediainfo says:
Quote:
"color_range": "tv",
"color_space": "bt2020nc",
"color_transfer": "bt2020-10",
"color_primaries": "bt2020",
"chroma_location": "topleft"
As you can see the "color_transfer" parameter changed. I've tried using ffmpeg to set the value of the parameter/metadata after the fact but to no avail. FFMPEG doesn't throw an error but the output of this command still shows the same "color_transfer" parameter value:
Quote:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0 -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 color_transfer="arib-std-b67" output.mkv
Can you help me with this please?

Just to clarify, Kuler is the maintainer of DoVi_Scripts, -QfG- is the maintainer of DDVT.

As for the issue you're describing, I think (based on the DDVT code) it is related to dovi_tool that handles the DV stuff inside DDVT, perhaps @quietvoid can provide some more info about this.

The issue is most likely that the original MKV had the transfer set in the container.

You've given us very little information, as the answer to your question is completely dependent on the DV RPU, and your eyes. E.g. if brightness across your RPU is mostly uniform, there is a high chance you won't notice the difference. If there is e.g. one scene that has 10 nits brightness and the next 1000 nits or the other way around and you drop a few frames, you MAY notice weird brightness changes for a brief period before a scene cut.

I dont know what you told me about RPU.
The last test i did was to remove 60 frames from the metadata.json and injected into a 1minute clip with brighter scenes and darker scenes for seeing the difference as you told me, but i dont see anything.

Im starting to thing that the hdr10+ is a fake. Not sure, so i upload the 1minute clip with original metadata, not modified.

Is it possible to run the Hybrid tool to work in a batch? One folder of HDR files and another folder of DV files?

This is possible? I've had a couple instances where the Dolby stream is higher bitrate than HDR and wondered if I could add the HDR info to the Dolby stream.

I thought you were talking about Dolby Vision, the RPU I was refering to was for that.

For your case, go into the tools folder of DDVT on cmd or Powershell and run

Code:
hdr10plus_tool plot metadata.json
This will plot the min/avg/max brightness for each frame and should give you an idea of what the metadata contains.
