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

[alexmorph3us]

Thank you once again Kuler087 for your continuing support! I'm happy with the final results. God bless you, man.

[alexmorph3us]

@Kuler087: In the mean time I've tested all the workflows and everything is working. So nothing to worry about there.

I would like one more feature request: is it possible to include Workflow 8-2-4 as well at line 190 as an option when the input mkv source file has FEL inside and DoVi Baker is used in Avisynth as intermediate for CM_Offline in the scripts?

[alexmorph3us]

Perhaps something like this:

I started working on this but haven’t tested it yet. The latest beta can do it, but I don’t think downscaling and cropping are functional for now, since it doesn’t seem to manage the XML level-5 relation with the video resolution the same way DEE does, so I’ll need to look into that.
I added ProRes 444 options, and I also want to integrate HEVC/AVC encoding directly into that workflow.

[en6ads]

Sorry for the dumb question: Circling back to 12-bit encoding. Does the latest beta enable 8-2-1 12-bit YCbCr x265 encoding? Or Do I need to 8-2-3 first with either Jpeg or TIFF, then send that to another x265 encoder? Many thanks.

[alexmorph3us]

I just did a test with an HEVC source file as input in the latest beta and you're right. Even though it now accepts the new workflow, cropping and resizing is not done properly. So it requires more testing.

The new ProRes options are a welcomed addition for this workflow.

No, this is only for Profile 5 encoding in 8-2-6.
8-2-1 targets 10-bit HDR10/DV8, and there’s no practical reason to encode 12-bit YCbCr HDR since no player can decode it anyway. The only way to achieve 12bit-ycbcr playback is with the dual 10bit decoders on bluray players and ugoos + P7 FEL.
I’ve already created a file like that before.

In Workflow 8-2-1 it works with PoRes 4444XQ as direct input + your XML metadata file. I'm not sure about image sequences. I haven't tested that.

But your final output is going to be HEVC 10 bit using the x265 encoder.

What you're asking it should work in Workflow 8-2-3 (Image Sequences) + Mezzinator in order to export to a 12 bit YCbCr format using ProRes 4444.

Mezzinator is part of the Dolby tools that can be found here:

Got it, many thanks.

So 10-bit ICTCP would be the way to achieve a single layer FEL encode for playback on consumer devices that preserves as much of the FEL data as possible.

Thank you.

Thanks. I'll stick with p5 testing for now.

[en6ads]

Just a heads up that OSMC have apparently got FEL playback working without dovi.ko.

https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/testing-...ort/108393/359

Edit: Looks like it's still in early testing: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php...153#pid3246153

Edit: Also the guy that makes the CPM skins says he'll drop support for CPM when OSMC FEL is released: https://www.avsforum.com/posts/64325433/

Going back to P5 encoding. I've attempted 8-2-6 with v3.0.8 and I get this error, "No ProRes decoder available". Is there a DEE setting I need to change?

your DEE folder is missing:
dee_plugin_prores_dec_apple_dlb.dll

[en6ads]

That was it - thank you.

I copied dee_plugin_prores_dec_apple_dlb.dll and dee_plugin_j2k_dec_kakadu_dlb.dll from the plugins folder to the main folder and it's working now.

Thank you.

Hey Kuler,

Have you seen this repo for DD+ 7.1 encode ?

https://github.com/HG3112/md71

Could it be possible to implement it in you script?

[Kuler087]

Hi, dovi_scripts already support 7-1 DD+ encoding via the EasyAudioEncoder.exe. You just have to configure it, see lines 425-427 (latest beta)

::Create a Folder ''EAE'' and put these files in it. Get the files from plex media server ''C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server''  https://i.ibb.co/c8sWD4p/Capture-d-cran-2024-07-20-094922.png

yes, i know that, but changing bitrate is not possible in EAE workflow...

and this could be replaced by FFMPEG...

[Kuler087]

I haven't used EAE in a while, but there is an option to change the bitrate:

::choose workflow 8-1-1 EC3 DD+ encoding bitrate (default= 1024) 2.0/5.1 = max 1536kbps and 7.1 = max 1024kbps.
set DDP_bitrate=1024

in which file i need to change then?

[Kuler087]

I'm not sure what you mean. You just have to create the EAE folder and put these files from Plex and EasyAudioEncoder.exe in it.
then you can control the bitrate with the script bat file
set DDP_bitrate=1024
