HDR to SDR StaxRip Problem

[jay123210599]

I am having this problem in StaxRip: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/issues/1891

One guy said: "Dolby Vision requires YCbCr 4:2:0 color space. Just make sure you convert the video (back) to YUV420 before you send it to x265." But how do I convert the video (back) before I send it?

[Z2697]

why you trying use dovi if convert to sdr
but yeah the upscaled chroma is not good anyway

[GeoffreyA]

Is there an option in StaxRip for output pixel format?

As an alternative, you can try in FFmpeg:

ffmpeg -init_hw_device vulkan -i SOURCE.mkv -map 0:v:0 -map_metadata -1
-vf libplacebo=w=-1:h=1080:upscaler=spline36:downscaler=spline36:colorspace=bt709:color_trc=bt709:color_primaries=bt709:range=limited:format=yuv420p10le,sidedata=delete
-c:v libx265 -preset slow -crf 18 -x265-params level-idc=41:no-sao=1:deblock=-1,-1:aq-mode=1 OUT.mp4

The x265 parameters should be tuned further but that is beyond the scope of this thread.

Hi jay123210599,

could you upload a short cutout of your source clip, and also your desired target format and frame size? My conversion options are limited to DGHDRtoSDR for Avisynth+ (using old StaxRip 32bit version), and to zimg based scripts for FFmpeg.


Cheers

@jay

DGHDRtoSDR() can output 4:2:0 with fulldepth=false (default). Note it runs on Avisynth+ or Vapoursynth. It's intended for an nVidia graphics card. However, you can run it in software mode with impl="sw", but it's rather slow. Other filters like libplacebo would be faster. That should be enough to get you going using a manual approach with avisynth+/vapoursynth/x265. I cannot help with staxrip, due to my ignorance of it, and not anything against staxrip, which is a fine application.

Like Z2697 said, what are you talking about if you are going to SDR?

Dolby Vision was the HDR format for my video.

[Z2697]

Yeah. Was. W-A-S !

Great answer Z man. I fear the OP may still not get the point, however.

Here's my point: How do I convert my video (back) to YUV420 before I send it to x265?

Look in StaxRip for pixel format.

For ffmpeg, see example above by GeoffreyA (the format= filter)

What did you not understand?

[GeoffreyA]

Post a screenshot of the dialogue boxes. I am guessing that near to where you selected Placebo, the output pixel format will be. Perhaps it's set to YUV444. Then, set DV to None.

[jay123210599]

@microchip8 @GeoffreyA

Here's my dialogue boxes: https://imgbox.com/BL44UHX3 https://imgbox.com/qdtQrWUZ

[microchip8]

Your input is already YUV420! There is no conversion needed.

[jay123210599]

All right, but now I have this error.

Could be a driver issue. On my Arc B580, libplacebo does not work through VapourSynth. If I remember correctly, you've got an Nvidia card. I would consider using FFmpeg, which is simpler.

[Z2697]

On the 444 regard, vsplacebo tonemap ONLY outputs RGB48 or YUV444P16, depending on input color family.
(The reason I said "upscaled chroma")

Pixel format conversion is covered by core.resize
plug it in after vsplacebo

I switched over to AviSynth and that solved the error, but now it's saying "Dolby Vision requires YCbCr 4:2:0 color space", even though my input video is already YUV420. How do I fix that?

[GeoffreyA]

Jay, as Z2967 noted, convert it using a resize filter after the tone mapping. Seemingly, placebo is outputting YUV444.

YCbCr420 and YUV420 are virtually the same. The former is a "digital" format, the latter comes from the analog era. Something is outputting a different format in your chain. As others noted, add a converting filter at the end of the filter chain.

[jay123210599]

Where in any of these codes are outputting YUV444?

Reading is a hard to learn skill it seems.

All right, I'm sending you my HDR video. Use Placebo on StaxRip and see if you could fix the error.

[GeoffreyA]

I tried it and this is what I found. You've got to double-click on Placebo in the filter list on the left, then uncomment the following lines:

ConvertToYUV420()
ConvertBits(10)

However, x265 still fails because it thinks it is receiving HDR input. So, open x265 options. Under "Input," remove all Dolby Vision settings, such as the profile and RPU. Then, under "VUI," set Colorprim, Transfer, and Colormatrix to BT.709. Lastly, under "VUI 2," remove all HDR light settings, setting CLL and FALL to 0, deselecting "Emit content light," and removing Master Display information. If you know the correct x265 profile, level, and tier, set it under "Basic." 10-bit 1080p SDR content should be Main10, Level 4.1, High Tier.

All in all, it should work, but I think it's simpler to use FFmpeg directly. Generally, changes one makes are sent downstream to the rest of the pipeline, making it automatic.

I just uncommented those lines and that worked, but I have one more problem. When playing the outputted video in PotPlayer, the video still had the HDR tag even though it has been converted to SDR. How do I change that?

[GeoffreyA]

As above, go into x265 options, removing everything related to Dolby Vision and HDR, and importantly, setting the colour matrix, transfer, and primaries to BT.709. That should do it. In MediaInfo, there should be no sign of BT.2020, DV, or anything of that sort. If the problem persists, post the MediaInfo properties of the encoded file.

Hi,

here is my simple version which does not use LibPlacebo (my old Thinkpad does not support it). In my upload there are 3 different versions using DGHDRtoSDR, plus 2 zimg based versions. My target format is X264, because it is easier to use and in my view it offers better quality.

Here is the link: (only valid for 3 days)

EDIT:
Sorry for the typo in the readme. In the second line of cource I mean "Video" and not "Audio"

[jay123210599]

Can SDR videos have color primaries and matrix coefficients of BT.2020?

[GeoffreyA]

Can SDR videos have color primaries and matrix coefficients of BT.2020?

I don't think the matrix and primaries can be, but perhaps the BT.2020 transfer function. At any rate, it's advisable to stick with 709 for all three.

[FranceBB]

Also, given that it's not guaranteed that libplacebo has updated the frame properties, make sure they're all set to BT709 now in Avisynth so that anything downstream will know.

Put those at the end of the script:


#Remove bad frame properties
propclearall()

#Populate frame properties correctly
propSet("_ColorRange", 1) #Limited TV Range
propSet("_Matrix", 1) #BT709
propSet("_Transfer", 1) #BT709
propSet("_Primaries", 1) #BT709
