How to tell if both files have Dolby Vision?

[Perenista]

I just checked two of my rips, the 1st one is older (you'll see that it was an older MKVToolnix version that edited it - both created from UHD/4K discs). The new one is much more recent. But I can't tell if both have DV in it. I am using the latest MEDIAINFO.

Can someone answer this? They are from the same movie, but this new disc is from a "recall".

2nd:

Note: both are lossless.

I think they are both files with Dolby Vision.

I guess first file is a non-matroska compliant "meant-to-be" DV file. Where the second 1920x1080 videotrack is probably the DV enhancement layer (EL), but according to matroska specs this isn't linked to the first, baselayer (BL) videotrack. It seems like an intermediate. You can create such with MKVToolNix to have it imported in MakeMKV to create a proper DV mkv.

Such as your second. Where you see "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU". This is how a UHDBD rip into mkv must look like. "Profile 7" is natively used for DV UHDBD. "BL+EL+RPU" means that the baselayer and the enhancementlayer (which carries RPU, being DV's metadata) are interleaved into 1 videostream.

Just so everybody knows...

The first MediaInfo file report lists 'video stream information' consistent with a 4K UHD disc encoded with Dolby Vision (conforming to Dolby Vision profile 7 dual layer encoding).

First one is a dual layer Profile 7 with a MEL layer. ie: The HDR10 base layer and MEL layer in separate streams.

Second one is a single layer Profile 7 that has the MEL layer muxed into the HDR10 base layer.
