I've used powershell a little bit for programs which require it, but have no idea how to make a script.

I won't need to change any FPS, add delays, nor do any border changes. Should be able to simply inject the DV into the HDR

Thanks for this tool. It's great

You can edit the scripts and you can make a dir support, with a for command, so that every file in this folder will be called. The problem is the naming in this case, the tool must know which DV file is for the actually HDR file. But the tool supports completely multitasking, so you can mux more files at the same time.

I did Right Click > Edit to see if your comment would make sense to me but not really. I have no coding experience. You're suggesting to edit the Hybrid.cmd file?

If the files have the exact same name (just in different folders) would that do the trick as far as lining up the correct files to be merged?

Thank you for the great tool. I have two questions.
Would it please be possible to add a script that converts the audio from DTS to AC3 but keeps the MKV and does not make it an MP4?

If I have an MKV with PGS subs, would it be possible that the script removes the PGS subs instead of having to remove the PGS subs itself with MKVToolNix?

-v0.56 Online
*NEW - Hybrid Script - If DV file contents DV and HDR10+ and the HDR file is only HDR
you can choice to mux HDR10+ metadata into target file. DV RPU
will always mux in HDR stream, HDR10+ is optional.
*Small Bugfixes.

Example: You have a UHD Remux only with HDR10 and a Hybrid WEB Release containing DV Profile 8 und HDR10+ Metadata. Choose UHD Remux as HDR File, the P8 Hybrid as DV file, type in the correct Delay and mux it.

You're suggesting to edit the Hybrid.cmd file?

Thats not so easy, but i will take a look, if i can add folder support in futere releases.

Would it please be possible to add a script that converts the audio from DTS to AC3 but keeps the MKV and does not make it an MP4?

Simple create a Batch file and copy paste this code in it:

@echo off & setlocal
mode con cols=122 lines=57
TITLE AUDIO TO AC3 Converter
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "FFMPEGpath=%~dp0tools\ffmpeg.exe" rem Path to ffmpeg.exe
set "AUDIOCODEC=-c:a ac3 -b:a 640k"
"!FFMPEGpath!" -drc_scale 0 -y -i "%~1" -strict experimental -loglevel error -stats -c:v copy !AUDIOCODEC! -c:s copy -strict -2 "%~dpn1_[AC3 CONVERTED]%~x1"
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
TIMEOUT 10

Simply Drag & Drop the MKV over this Script.

*DEMUXER creates a directory in source file dir if a custom dir is set - Fixed.
*HYBRID Any bugfixes and overhauled layout. Live ticker if HDR and OUTPUT Borders matches.

*Removes mkclean from all scripts because damage on some tracks inside mkv container.

Versions till v0.55 removed from drive for safety all our releases!

Thanks for the continued updates to this excellent toolset. A question on Apple DV Profile 8.4; searched this thread & found some discussion on converting to 8.4, but wondering if there's a way to convert videos shot on iPhone in DV 8.4 to a lower profile, namely 8.1?

[Ritsuka]

I wouldn't call 8.4 an higher profile, it's just different: it uses HLG instead of PQ, so to convert to 8.1 you would have to re-encode and convert to PQ.
Furthermore, Apple uses the ambient viewing environment metadata, I don't know if there is any player outside of Apple owns that honours it, but without that iPhone recorded DV 8.4 files look completely different.

Thank you for your amazing script.
It was already easy with the demux-injector functions but now with the hybrid script it's even more easy.
It's the perfect tool to import dv web file into hdr br remux.

Hi,
I'm starting to get interested in the AV1 codec, and I would like to know if this codec is compatible for Dolby Vision and if this software accepts this codec?
Thanks

[GodzilaAvenger]

AFAIK Dolby Vision is not supported on AV1, at least officially.

-v0.59 Online
*Hybrid Scripts supports now HDR10+ files without DV for secondary input.
If the secondary stream contains DV and HDR10+ metadata, you can choose
which metadata will be used for RPU.
*Live ticker for Output file HDR infos.

No support for DV Profile 8.4 now, because i have no HLG files for testing.

Hi,

Reporting an issue. I can work it around with another tool, so mostly reporting as an FYI to DDVT maintainer (thx for your tool BTW).

I have downloaded a large DoVi MKV movie for TESTING purposes on my LG OLED65C8 (2018).

I converted the MKV to MP4 with DDVT_MKVTOMP4 v0.58, and TV plays it as a regular HDR file.
Then I converted the MKV to MP4 with dvmkv2mp4 , and TV plays it as a DoVi file.

For context, here are the "ffmpeg -i" output of all three files:
- MKV: https://pastebin.com/LvGW4PaA
- DDVT.mp4: https://pastebin.com/WBATZTkY
- dvmkv2mp4.mp4: https://pastebin.com/CbEACpbt

And the mediainfo of both converted files:
- DDVT.mp4: https://pastebin.com/MUPVR0Fw
- dvmkv2mp4.mp4: https://pastebin.com/7QnM3fwM

Hope it helps.

EDIT: Still experimenting. This time, I tried converting this DoVi MKV and the resulting mp4 plays as a DoVi on my TV.

EDIT 2: Tried converting "FEL_test_for_AVS.mkv" available from HERE. This time, TV detects the resulting mp4 as a DoVi, but playback is stuck on the very first frame.

This is so weird.

My main tv is LG C2, but I also have a B8 as second tv and I watch movies sometimes on it but can't play DV converted with this tool. I will be very happy if it becomes possible to watch Profile 8 mkv2mp4 on the pre-2020 LG models.

I suppose this tool is only for Linux?

That is because the file is Profile 7 which plays fine on the pre-2020 LG models.

Can you add the MediaInfo of the converted files?

Sure. Updated the original post.

My guess is that the problem stems from the codec type, one is "hev1" while the other is "dvhe". It seems that the latter triggers DV on your TV while the former doesn't. Also the HDR format info of the second one is weird (Version 0 isn't exactly a thing).

If I were to guess again I'd say this is because dvmkv2mp4 uses "hevc_mp4toannexb" but DDVT doesn't, but I may be wrong.
