I have fiddled with that setting, but if you say that the speed I'm getting is good, then that's good enough for me.

Hi Kuler,
I think I might be having to buy a new TV, my 2018 LG 4K TV shit itself last night, I was watching an episode of GoT, and the screen just went black, still had sound, tho.
Tried a few reset functions, but all I get is sound , not too impressed.
So I would like to ask what would you suggest for a suitable or better replacement ??
I really only want DV playback....
What do you have ??
Cheers.

You can't go wrong with LG C or G series.
I have an LG C2 77'' and I love it.

Yes, I would prefer to get another LG, but for some unknown reason I can't get one "online" 'til mid July

Not too interested in Sony's, or others....

I've just been trying to find the specs for some Samsungs, and there's no mention of Dolby Vision...will keep looking, I might have to do with the 50" 3D Samsung, or an old Samsung 42" Plasma, for a while

Thanks for your suggestion

UPDATE:-

So is the C2 & G2 a slightly older model ??

All I can find are B4, C4 & G4, the C being the cheaper, the B in the "middle", and the G is the top variant, some AU$1,000 dearer than a C.

Samsung is not Dolby Vision friendly. They're HDR10+ only.

Yes, I have found that...

Seems only LG & some Sony's are...

yes, the number represents the year. so C2=2022

I also use 77C2. Don't bother with B series, the minimum is C series, but I can recommend you G3 or G4, but the later is still a new model and it is more expensive. G series has MLA (except 83"), which boosts the brightness.

Co-incidence...

I think C's would be plenty good enough, the G's are so much more $.

Either a 55, or maybe 65, no bigger.

I love my g2 77.

I'm trying an 8-2-2, with 2.0.7, and I'm getting this error:-

vpy: Failed to load vsscript.dll.
failed to initialize file reader(s).
Failed to open input file.

But when using (same tools pack), 2.0.5 works

Also, in 8-2-2, can this be changed, somewhere :-

Warning: Avisynth Compat: requested frame 181 not prefetched, using slow method

There's a pre-fetch setting, but it's only for 7-1.

i don't know, works fine for me.

Warning: Avisynth Compat: requested frame 181 not prefetched, using slow method

it says that for the 200 first frame when I use avs_resize with vapoursynth. You can ignore it.


BTW, I added muxing in 8-2 in the latest beta

Well, there must be some tiny hiccup with my 2.0.7, so I might just grab the latest beta, and see what that does.

I don't usually use 8-2-* much, but I thought I'd try to convert HDR to SDR, as my LG 4K HDR TV "blew up", and I now only have an SDR Samsung, but strangely enough, it didn't make much difference

I have decided what TV, I'm going to get, but it won't be for a few weeks.

An LG C4 65 evo.

Cheers.

Well, nothing changed in 8-2 since 2.0.5...

I'm not sure if MP4 muxing will work for SDR though, I haven't tested. You might want to use the mkv version for SDR since mp4 is only useful for DV

I've now got 2.0.8 beta, so I will check that out tomorrow.

8-2-2 creates a .hevc file, which I then ran thru MKVToolNix to add audio and subs...

not in the latest beta, it will try to mux SDR to mp4 if you use the mp4 version
anyway even if it fails to mux, it will keep the encoded hevc file.

Turned out that I had NOT installed VS properly, I have a reasonably fresh Windows setup, and hadn't installed everything, yet

Nevermind, I've now got the latest beta going

PS:- Is my new C4 going to need the new or old MP4 muxer...what do you use ??

I took delivery of the LG 65" C4 today, and WOW...

Anyway, I "tested" a DS DV conversion that worked on the old LG, using the "old" Mp4Muxer option in the 3-1 workflow, and it worked, and displayed Dolby Vision.

Should I bother trying the "new" Mp4Muxer ??

Now all I need to do is install the RTX 4080 Super in the 7950X system, and see what difference that makes to the process.

[Kuler087]

NEW mp4muxer mode is faster and preserves the BL compatibility ID when muxing subtitles/lossless audio.

Hello, I just saw the release of 2.0.8 has the ability to remove dialnorm from ec3 and ac3 tracks. I’m not sure if you’re aware, Kuler, but the removal of dialnorm removes Atmos metadata if the track contains it. I would suggest a warning or something in case the track contains Atmos. After dialnorm removal the track will still show up as Atmos, but all sound will play through every speaker at the same time.

Sorry for the huge post.
