Excellent, it worked. I am getting a greater understanding of these matters. Thanks.

Perhaps it has been already discussed, but I cannot solve the following problem. I have a hybrid MKV video (DV + HDR10) 3840X1608. My old LG C8 shows the file in HDR10 with black bars - all OK. So to play DV, I converted the file into m2ts - now my LG shows it in DV, all OK, BUT the top & bottom bars are no longer black, they are grayish.

So I extracted the RPU & adjusted the top/bottom borders manually to 276 & injected them back into the video. Nothing changed - the bars are still not black, but grey.
Is there a solution? Please help.

Forgot to mention: I play the video with OPPO clone

BTW Great tool! Many thanks!!

But then I found an app that was my "Saviour", and it's not DDVT.

Can you send me the name of the app please? I too struggle with my older LG TV

What's the model of your LG?
You can use the DDVT_MKVTOMP4 with Option 2 (Fake P5) enabled.

LG C8. I have tried the Fake P5 option also. To my surprise it did not work, I just get a black screen with sound. Somebody in this thread stated that old LG's have problems with new MP4 containers.

Converting MKV to M2TS works fine for me for files 3840x2160. If the video stream is "thinner" (like 3840X1600) then I get grey (not black) bars - this is very annoying if watching in a dark room. I understand that it is happening because DV metadata is not limited just to the video size, it is applied to the whole screen. I want to find a way to change this

When injecting the RPU it says video input matches with output RPU but RPU input does NOT match with video.

I also read that:

So, does that mean that since the final result here WILL have black borders I do NOT need to crop?
I 'fear' the RPU will not be applied to the middle where the picture is but starts at the top so that the black bars will get DV.
Or WILL it be centered?

edit:
Made a json file where it specifies the crop, but it doesn't take over the values.

Hey, I have a question about your post. I sent you a private message about this. I would appreciate an answer! Thx.
