Do you plan on including them in the future? If not, know any ffmpeg GUIs that does?

Hey there! I tried to do the usual conversion from a UHD HDR 4k file to a playable Blu-ray (1080) I tried it twice, and about 31% the way through it threw this odd error. Do you know what this means? Should I run the MKV file through MKV Merge first before encoding it with CleverFFmpeg?

I've tried every which way of converting this full 4k file (from a full BDMV folder) first basically muxing the main movie file together using BDRB into one file of about 64 Gigs. The original and resulting movie file has 2 video streams in it (?) One almost the entire size in the UHD resolution, and a small part (1080) I muxed the movie file without the 1080 part (because CleverFFmpeg rejected the file outright as is) and retained the UHD video file. Using CleverFFmpeg it now accepted the UHD video file just fine and encoded about 31% and then stopped.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

@Lathe
It looks like the video is defective.
Try to remux it and then play it from 30% to 33%.

That is what I was thinking. Will do, thank you!

[Hellboy.]

@Lathe, the 1080p video is the Dolby Vision.

Yep, thanks! That is basically what I found out. So I muxed the rest of the movie file without that, but there must've been something wrong with it if CleverFFmpeg was encoding it just fine for about 30% of it. I think I can get a different source without the Dolby track.

For some odd reason, when I select HDR, the prompt showing the settings is not displaying properly, so I cannot set the settings. To my knowledge, I've not changed any resolution or display properties, and the REST of the interface looks fine. Here is a picture of my screen: (also, below the picture, I have another important question please)



Also, if I am supposedly importing an HDR encoded 4k Blu-ray movie file, and I get the prompt to the effect that 'There is no HDR metadata or data' do I still need to tell it to convert from HDR to SDR? Or, does that mean that the file simply is not encoded with HDR data and I can just resize it and convert to x264 and forget the HDR settings?

Thanks!

PS: Here is the MediaInfo information for the file I'm trying to encode:

Here are the prompts and what the interface looks like when I load the file and go to resize:

[Lathe]

I can't close this prompt either, so I cannot run the program...

And... it failed anyway just doing it with no HDR setting...

@Lathe
Your video is single layer Dolby Vision, same as what is output by MakeMKV.
I just tested and clever ffmpeg gui can recognize that fine.
Possible your file is slightly messed up. (just like you)

Wow, what a help...

Well, there appear to be a number of weird things happening with the interface, which I've posted very clear pictures of (I know... ending on a preposition, sorry...)

Right now I'm using Handbrake and it's actually a little over half way through now, so I'm holding my breath (I'll just about take anything now) It is set to use the BT709 filter, and I've checked the resulting file and it seems to look okay, so maybe I'll finally get it...

[gonca]

Post the mediainfo report of the output file.
Are you sure that handbrake is actually tonemapping?

Well, I MUCH prefer using CleverFFMpeg since I think the results look better, but with the interface acting up and not allowing me to select on those screens that I posted above, I just couldn't use it.

Hi Lathe,
please cut 30 seconds of this video, upload it to any hoster and post the link here. Then I will analyze it.
