[DoVi_Scripts] Multi-Function Scripts for Dolby Vision processing and a lot more...

[guest]

He can't do that when the script crashes. But it's all good, he sent me a sample and the problem was a typo at line 894 for Profile 7 RPU input in workflow 1-1.

fixed in the latest beta.

Nice catch, typo's can ruin everything :(

I just grabbed that tools update, so I will have a play with that, it will be my first VapourSynth using app :)

So I'm guessing these will be in the full tools pack, or will you make this update available ??

Cheers, lovin' the support :)

[Kuler087]

Yes, I always update the tools pack as soon as needed to keep up with the BETA versions. And when I release the stable version, I always share separately the new tools needed so people don't have to re-download the whole pack again and again.

But there are some annoying msg now for the first 200 frames when encoding P5 videos with vapoursynth/libplacebo but the output is correct and it does the same if I do the same job in staxrip.
I'll have to check it out.


Avisynth Compat: requested frame 2 not prefetched, using slow method...

I'm probably doing something wrong, again,

I tried 3 different AAC's in 8-1-1, of the latest BETA, and got this :-

The problem is that the script relies on mediainfo.exe to get the bitrate and it seems it doesn't report a bitrate for a demuxed AAC track. Will make the script remux it to mka.

Should work now in the latest beta...

Well, you've done it again, worked like a charm.

So that now leads me to the next option request (sorry)

Could you add a bitrate option(s) for ac3 & aac to EC3 conversions ??

Like maybe 640, 1024 & 1536 ??

Thanks

I loaded the weird coloured P5 DV (only) clip and see what happens..

HDR format: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, Profile 5, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU

And I got this:- (truncated)

Also, please note the blue text, there is no Mastering Display option.

And, I thought there may have been some indication that Vapoursynth might have been involved with this, but there was only a reference to Avisynth.

[Kuler087]

right, I did not update 3-1, 6-2 and 7-3 yet but it matters less for those workflows because the brightness metadata are not really affected.


Also, please note the blue text, there is no Mastering Display option.
MDL must be selected manually for P5 input because cmv2.9 doesn't have info about primaries, only cmv4.0 does in L9(the script still doesn't use it though).
Normally, if you have access to P5 web-dl you also have access to the HDR10 stream in which you can get the MDL data.

What does this actually refer to, as I had asked several different questions.

You didn't say anything about the audio bitrates.

Actually, after I first watched that P5 DV, I acquired a non DV version by the same user, so is there any point in trying to "fix" the DV version ??

Interesting note, when I played the P5 thru my Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd Gen, it played fine, but it seems to work with DV, where the TV won't, but the Xiaomi has other issues, so I don't use it :(

Cheers.

DV rarely needs to be generated if the original is already DV. Disney plus , iTunes and MA sometimes have DV with static metadata but its rare.

I'll think about something... probably just a keyword in filename.

[guest]

I'll have to check the details of the file before I download it, but why it was encoded to P5 is a little strange, IMO.

p5 avisynth

I thought you'd added Vapoursynth for P5..

That'd be nice, thanks.

only 8-2 was updated to vapoursynth. Your question/log was about 3-1

but why it was encoded to P5 is a little strange, IMO.
what do you mean? most of the streaming services use P5.

I was just wanting to clarify, and yes it was 3-1.

I don't stream, I download & process, generally they are P7 or P8's, but having said that, I generally go for HDR10, but now that I've starting using DS, that might change.

Cheers.

[Kuler087]

I generally go for HDR10, but now that I've starting using DS, that might change.

Cheers.

There are so many issues with the device's implementation that make DV a big mess but generally speaking, DV has much better tone mapping than HDR10 especially for TVs under 1000nits.

Like Poor Things that was just released today? ;-)

[Kuler087]

Like Poor Things that was just released today? ;-)

This one is not really static. It is SDR in an HDR container and DV is pretty much useless here. The Level 2 and L8 trims are just a slight increase in brightness but otherwise, it is identical to SDR. see: https://slow.pics/c/3bD4lVh4

And generating new metadata wouldn't really make a difference, it would actually be darker because of the lack of a positive lift from the original manual trims.

The script has been completed. Do you want to quit or go back to main menu (q or m default=q)?

Just converted to MP4, and it looks pretty good, and it's a P8.1, which may not play on the LG.

It played :)

Did you try the old and new mp4 version on your TV?

Just to clarify, when you use the OLD mp4 version and if your input doesn't have lossless or subtitles, it uses a modified version of the mp4muxer that makes ''dvhe'' mp4 (compatible with C8) and that special version can specify the BL compatibility id so that's why your file says P8.1.

When there's lossless audio or subs, the script uses an old version of mp4box (because mp4muxer cannot mux lossless audio or subs), and in the process, the file loses its BL id and becomes P8.0 in mediainfo.

I did fiddle around with those settings the other day, and I put them back to default settings.

There's just so much more to learn about all this, and I'm almost too old to have it sink in...information overload :(


And to test the install process, I uninstalled all the Python & Vapoursynth installs, and re-installed using, python-3.12.2-amd64.exe & VapourSynth-x64-R66-RC1.exe, and completed the 8-2-1 workflow.

[guest]

Hi Reset,

I have been doing more fiddling/testing, and noticed that if I try a conversion either .thd or .mlp to EC3, I am now getting the same error as the other day when trying .aac to EC3, here (in red):-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1998223#post1998223

And .aac & .ac3 don't error., so it's kind of reversed, it seems. :(

==========================================

I have also noticed (or not noticed) there is no demuxing (audio or sub's) workflow.

So for example, if I use 8-2-1 or 8-2-3, I get a video only final file.

If I want to convert an audio file to EC3, I have to demux the original file with (I use) gMKVExtractGUI (if it's not an .mkv, I run it thru MKVToolNix, then gMKVExtractGUI).

Then using 8-1-1, that converts to an audio only file. (except for current problem mentioned above)

So now I have 2 files that need to be muxed, in my case to .mp4 for DV compatibility with my LG TV.

So now the only way I can do that (that I know of), it to mux them using MKVToolNix (I could possibly use MP4Box), and then use the DoVi MP4 muxer #5.

And after reading some fine print, I've noticed that if I mux .srt subtitles, I get a level P8.0 mp4, with no subs, I get P8.1.

==========================================

I realise that 3-1 kind of does all of the above, but sometimes you may not want to use 3-1, and because it muxes the subs, the P level is only 8.0.


So after all that BS, is there a way that you can have the DoVi MP4 muxer able to add at least one converted audio track, will save me a few steps ??

I hope you can understand what I am trying to say here, 'cause I'm confused :(

PS:- Dolby released this today:- Dolby_Vision_Professional_Tools_Windows_v5.5.0

PPS:-I just grabbed the latest Beta, and it's 60 lines bigger than the previous...there must be a few changes / additions :)

[Kuler087]

I have been doing more fiddling/testing, and noticed that if I try a conversion either .thd or .mlp to EC3,
i'll check it out, I never encode raw audio stream so its possible.

yes the encoder workflows dont mux and I understand how this can be a problem for the MP4 version.
p-s if you name your lossy audio and subtitle file the same as the input, and run workflow 5, it should mux them.

I might add muxing support later when i have more time.

OK, thanks for the hint with the naming, I will give it a shot.

So what's different in the latest beta ?? (I know I'll possibly figure it out tomorrow (my time) but for now, it's time for bed).

Thanks again.

[Kuler087]

So what's different in the latest beta ??

2.0.3 should be released soon

changes (by memory: my pc is offline because of a power outage):
1-1 can now resync hdr10plus
2-9 now read the input framerate
8-2 now use vapoursynth
8-1 can encode lossy audio input

1-1 can now resync hdr10plus
2-9 now read the input framerate
8-2 now use vapoursynth
8-1 can encode lossy audio input

OK, testing time, again.

So first off was audio encoding to EC3:-

So with 8-1-1 & 2.0.2.bat, it would process .thd & .mlp, but not .aac or .ac3.

Whereas, 2.0.3 Beta (latest) is the complete opposite :(

I noticed yesterday that 8-2 uses VS for everything, I thought it was mainly for Level P5's, but as long as it works :)

[Kuler087]

try the new beta. raw thd mlp should work again...
but why do you process raw audio? you can just feed the original MKV and the script will pick the best audio according to your script language settings(default english). No need to demux.

and yes, now 8-2 use vapoursynth for everything except FEL.
The non-p5 inputs were fine with avisynth but it was easier to update to vapoursynth for all the input.

Yep, that worked, thanks :)

I haven't tried the "trick" you mentioned yesterday about having all the tracks named alike, for DoVi MP4 Muxer..

TBH, I have forgotten why I am processing raw audio...hang on, I just remembered...it's when the video has got some crappy bit rate audio,
and I want to "upgrade" it, and AFAIK, DS hasn't got that function, yet.

So I have to demux the audio, running it thru another app, and then mux it back.

So to re-cap, running 8-2-1 outputs a VIDEO only .hevc,

and running 8-1-1 outputs to an AUDIO only .mkv.

They need to be muxed together !

That's probably another reason I asked about demuxing, and being able to change the audio bit rate....so that DoVi_Scripts is THE "one stop shop" for all these processes.

Does that make sense ??

PS:- I just noticed this:--- You can override lossy audio input bitrate target if you add IGNOREBITRATE in the filename
is this new, in 8-1-1, latest Beta ??

Cheers.

[Kuler087]

same as before:
::choose EC3 DD+ encoding bitrate (default= 1536) 5.1 = max 1536kbps and 7.1= max 1024kbps
set DDP_bitrate=1024


8-2-5: I'll check it out.

OK, so I do have that set to 1536, as I have disabled 7.1, as I can't really use it (as explained a few days ago), and I thought that was the setting you were talking about.

So, I have a crappy .aac audio from a tv series, (even tho it's a 4K DV video) and it has a measly bitrate of 200kbps, so what happens if I add IGNOREBITRATE to the .aac's file name ??

Yes, I was a bit puzzled that 8-2-5 worked on an earlier build, so there's been a bit of double checking along the way.

==============================

I hope I'm not being a PITA, and that the feedback, suggestions, etc, aren't too much.

Please forgive me for asking some pretty basic question's, as, as you know I have not been using this for very long, and it's your "baby", and know it like the back of your hand.
I know it can be annoying to be asked about things that just come naturally to the you, being the dev.

Regards.

[Kuler087]

it will use whatever bitrate you have set.
There is no point in increasing the bitrate though, this is intended for someone who wants to reduce bitrate. EG 768kbps to 384.

Yes, I was a bit puzzled that 8-2-5 worked on an earlier build, so there's been a bit of double checking along the way.
that's why its called BETA, when I make a change, its possible that I introduce new bug. There are so many workflow and input possible that i did not test everything yet.

EDIT: fixed in latest beta

OK, grabbed latest BETA...

So I tried this:- The.Lord.of.the_0_0_IGNOREBITRATE.aac, which is 211kbps, after DS, it was the same, but .ec3.


Then onto 8-2-5, which was the topic of yesterday, so see here for reference:-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...40#post1998440

No errors today

Next dilemma, 8-2-5 of this :-

The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk.mkv

produced a large .mov (video only)

So now I need the audio..how do I do that ??

Demuxed that .mkv using gMKVExtractGUI to get the audio (which was a .dts),

Audio
Format : DTS XLL
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Commercial name : DTS-HD Master Audio

Frame rate : 93.750 FPS (512 SPF)

ran that thru 8-1-1, and that produced a .mkv container with this:-

Title : Dolby Digital Plus @ 1536kbps
Writing library : Lavc60.31.102 eac3

So now I have a .mov & a .mkv (audio), how do I mux that ??

DoVi MP4 Muxer does not support .mov , however DoVi MKV Muxer does (even tho it doesn't say that it does)

So I put both in a separate folder, named the same, and opened DoVi MKV Muxer, and got this:-

Drag and drop folder with files or a single file and press enter..."D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\New folder"
processing..."The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mkv"
processing..."The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mov"
mkvmerge v82.0 ('I'm The President') 64-bit

'D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\New folder\The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mov' track 0: Using the output module for the format 'ProRes video'.
The file 'D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100_NEW.mkv' has been opened for writing.
The cue entries (the index) are being written...
Multiplexing took 35 seconds.

But the muxed .mkv only had the video track

So then I tried the MP4 Muxer:-

Got this error, and I can't get around it:-

Drag and drop folder with files or a single file and press enter..."D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\New folder"
processing..."The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mkv"
reading input tracks format/id/language...
done.
Error: The ID '0' has already been used for another destination file.
muxing into a DoVi MP4 file. Be patient, it can take a while. 40min+ on slow HDD
ERROR! Can't open input file: D:\Dovi_Temp_MP4\temp.folder66\HDR.hevc
Error parsing command line!

I think there is a problem with MP4 Muxer in the latest BETA, I just tried another file, and it had other errors, but that's for another msg.

I think that's about enough, for one message.

Cheers.

8-2-5 is intended for Davinci Resolve (HDR grading). This workflow just puts the SDR video into a REC2020 HDR container without touching the brightness or gamut.
There's no point in watching HDR at 100nits so of course the script muxing doesnt support prores input, and never will. Prores is a lossless codec not meant for playback but for editing.
PS: I don't believe in the one click SDR to HDR conversions. HDR must be graded shot by shot!

-- Can encode SDR to HDR10-100nits PQ PRORES 422 HQ
-- Output should be graded in Resolve otherwise this is just 100nits SDR in an HDR container.
-- Require Vapoursynth

Audio bitrate: check the new version...

OK, I did do another SDR to HDR a week or so back, and I doubt that I will go to the trouble of doing all that process in Resolve, however, I did apply a particular 3D LUT,
and it looked pretty damn good, (in preview) but I didn't process it, and haven't done any more to it, yet.

Having said that, you probably could implement a good (good enough) one click SDR to HDR conversion option, for those lazy ppl that don't want to use Resolve. Just sayin'.

I grabbed the latest BETA, it's got 4 extra lines of code, but I haven't had the opportunity to test it today.

Thanks.

UPDATE:- OK, another day, more testing :)

OK, well 8-1-1 is working, I converted that low bitrate .aac to 1536 (a bit over the top I know, but that's the setting in the .ini), when adding IGNOREBITRATE to the file name.

So expanding on that, could a custom bitrate be used in the file name, for "one off" conversions ??

------------------------------------------------------

And a little off that topic, I have been noticed a strange behavior with a lot of the workflows, when they're completed...

You get this :_

the script has been completed, press a key to start again...
Press any key to continue . . .
------------------------------------------------------
-- This script encode lossless audio to EAC3 DD+
-- Input can be a folder with files or a single file.
-- EAE folder needed for 7.1 encoding.
------------------------------------------------------
Drag and drop folder with files or a single file and press enter...

So you drag another file over, press enter, and the whole "window" disappears.

[Kuler087]

Maybe...

no sorry, the web is already flooded with bad sdr to hdr upscales, I don't want to contribute...

And a little off that topic, I have been noticed a strange behavior with a lot of the workflows, when they're completed...
you have to press a key to start the workflow again. If you drop a file without pressing a key, yes the script will crash.

But there's a known issue with some workflows when there're completed that ask if you want to go back to the main menu: It could process the same file again.
It's on my todo list but I never use that function so it's not a priority to me. When I have more than one file to process I just input a folder with files instead.

I have to test every possible input in 8-2, and then I can release 2.0.3 stable. Probably be tomorrow or later today.

Awesome, so now 2.0.3 stable is out :)

I've noticed a couple of things in the "newtools2.0.3.7z"

Now there's an Avisynth folder, instead of just in the main folder.

arial.ttf ?

So other than that, simply copy & overwrite the existing contents of the tool pack ??

Thanks.

PS:- Just curious, if simply renaming a .bat (eg:- mkv to mp4, which I've done with the beta's), changes its processes, then why provide 3 variants ??

You'll have to add your doom9 address to the .bats.... Contact: R3S3T_9999@proton.me

Hi madey83,

Well, once you have all the required components & tools, etc..

There is some setup settings you need to do.

It's pretty simple, open the latest .bat, and choose Menu 3 Option 1, and you will be asked a couple of questions, then away it goes.

Depending on your playback device (TV, PC, etc) will determine whether you need .mkv or .mp4 output.

Have been using this for a couple of weeks, helping Kuler along the way. It's GOOD !!!!!

1) MODE.I= DoVi Inject/Convert/Edit/Re-sync TWO INPUTS (P8 Hybrid Maker/Injector)

and script should ask what audio choose from source or automatically choose better one.... in my case atmos

I haven't used that one, yet.

Well, the choice is yours, you will need to do a bit of trial & error until you get the exact result you're after....

There are a LOT of settings you can "play" with, when you "edit" the .bat, you will see them, LOT's of them.

[Kuler087]

yes

because most of the new users don't read instructions and don't know about it.

unfortunately the script takes the audio from the BL input and I don't think I will change that. So just make sure your BL input has the right audio/subs track before running 1-1
You can also disable muxing and mux with any audio you want after the workflow

Hello, supporter and lurker here

I'm wondering if there's a way to input an L5 config somehow into Resolve's Output Blanking? So, I don't have to go scene by scene and override the blanking for variable ARs in Resolve.

Thank you for your work updating and improving on your scripts regularly. :)

Workflow 2-9 can make an EDL file that you can import in Resolve. Youtube tutorial about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVx01kCLLS8

But after importing the scene cuts in Resolve, if you planned to import an original XML DV metadata with dynamic L5, It won't work. AFAIK, if you import your xml, only the first shot will get metadata.

Oh I see. I am aware of importing the EDL so thank you, but it seems I would be unable to import variable output blanking so we just have to go scene by scene.

Thank you again for clarifying.
