Recode Content with Dolby Vision

[XadoX]

I am a longtime user of MeGUI to re-encode video content.
More and more content has Dolby Vision and it is not clear to me how this should be handled.

Since Kodi is now also able to handle the FEL layer, I would like to keep it.

Is it enough to just demux the content via eac3to and then reinject the RPU afterwards?

Do you have a tutorial to hand, maybe?

I'm not aware of MeGUI having any native support for any HDR format.

It does not necessarily have to be realized with MeGUI. If other tools are suitable for this, I would also be grateful for suggestions.

For Profile 5 you can just demux the RPU, re-encode the video and then remux the RPU with the new video stream. Same for Profile 8.x.

For Profile 7 with FEL you cannot do that because you would need the original source to generate the enhancement layer from the new encoded base layer. I am also not aware of publicly available tools that can do that.

Thank you very much. That makes it clearer for me now.
