Profil8 BL+RPU MKV are these hybrid MKVs in which the DV was made into the film and these can then only be played back on such Android players or as m2ts on the Oppo



Since this is rather unsatisfactory for the CloneOppo users due to their limitations, I came up with a way of making the whole thing back to an ISO. However, it must be said that it is unfortunately not possible or not that easy without components of the monkey head

Instructions to create a DolbyVision Iso from BL & RPU DoVi MKV



We need the DoVi Tool and DVDFab (Coverter and Creator) as well as TsMuxer

Demux DoVi MKV with DoVi Tool
Save HDRBL --> Yes
Save RPU --> Yes
Convert RPU --> Leave Untouchd
Crop RPU --> No

the BL and RPU are generated

load the generated BL.hevc into the TsMuxer and create a .m2ts

Open FabConverter and convert the BL.m2ts as MP4 HDR10 HEVC 1080p
(Here you can also go down with the bit rates. 10% of the video stream is sufficient because this stream acts as a carrier of the DolbyVision metadata, but the generated GB will come to an end on the medium. Example film has 20GB + 5GB metadata = 25GB total film file)

Fab UHD Creator output the BL as UHD once so that the Level@5.1 is restored if the original file does not correspond to it (often only L@5.0)

when both files are created the 1080p track will be moved to the RPU
open DoVi Tool and drag the 1080p to the DDVT_INJECTOR script
when everything is read
1. Leave as specified
2. Leave as specified
4. Mux Stream to MKV/MP4 ---> to NO
6. Leave as specified

a folder is created with the BL+RPU.hevc

Open TsMuxer
Add the 2160p HDR L@5.1
Add the BL+RPU.hevc
and for audio and UT
Add original MKV
remove the video stream from the MKV so that only audio SRT/PGS remains

Output ISO --> mux

Thank you for these instructions! When you talk about "DoVi Tool" do you mean quietvoid's command line dovi_tool or is there some kind of GUI / batch file?

Because I don't really understand the numbers (1, 2, 4, 6) that you mention.
 
Thanks, I tried this on an MKV rip of Eternals (2021) and it seems to work great.

Question: Is it OK to use the NVidia CUDA cores for the HEVC encoding or should I disable them?
 
One more question :) How important is the bitrate of the 1080p carrier stream? Can it be lower than 10% or will that hurt the quality at some point?
 
yes, it can also be below 10%, you can also take the minimum that is possible in the settings, it has no effect on the quality
 
This really cool. Thank you! I have been looking for this solution forever! (Single stream back to dual stream)
does it retain HDR10 fallback? And does the DV look any better IF you made the 1080p layer bigger than 10%?
 
yes, HDR is of course preserved because the HDR is included in the 2160p stream.
No. The DV is not better, the metadata is preserved and does not change due to the increase in bit rate, it only makes the result bigger

Sorry, but I don't understand the step 'Fab UHD Creator output the BL as UHD once so that the Level@5.1 is restored if the original file does not correspond to it (often only L@5.0)' What BL are you referring to? the BL.mp4? the BL.m2ts? Can you help me please?

I'm doing this steps.

Step 1. Demux the mkv with DDVT_DEMUXER -> OK
Step 2. Load the BL.hevc in tsmuxer and create a BL.m2ts -> OK
Step 3. Open FabConverter and convert the BL.m2ts to MP$ HDR10 HEVC 1080p
Not sure if I'm choosing the correct profile:

Then, in the next step, I am completely lost:
Fab UHD Creator outputs the BL (What BL? the mp4, m2ts, the hevc) as UHD once, so that the Level@5.1 is restored if the original file does not correspond to it (often only L@5.0).
Do I need to create a bluray sctructure in this step? The output should be passthrought?

Maximum BD 66, no BD 100 because passthrough only passes through and is not converted from @5.0 to @5.1!!!
 
I am trying to convert a recently downloaded WEB-DL movie. When I tried to play it, the black bars were gone and the picture was stretched.

According to mediainfo the video resolution is 3828x1592 and the AR is 2.40:1.

However, in tsMuxer I cannot choose 2.40:1, but only 2.21:1 as the AR. Is there a way to fix this?

This really is fantastic. Thank you so much for this! (I can even just use the BL for making just an HDR10 Iso!)

QUESTION:
Do you have any method for making an ISO out of DV Profile 5?
(Would I need an identical HDR10 version?)

thanks again! You are a genius!

*that visual guide is great- but unlike the final pic shown, when I look at the disc stats in BDinfo- the DV info line below HDR10 line says DolbyVision/bt.2020, but does not say its MEL or FEL. Is it supposed to?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how can I use a DV profile 5 to add into a m2ts, from DDVT I got the RPU.bin but I don't know how to mux it in tsmuxer

Yes, you can get the RPU from the DV5 MKV, but you need an identical other movie file from which you can then create the BL layer in order to process it further with the RPU to the EL layer. But both output files must be absolutely identical. Same length, FPS as well as cut.

That is not possible. It is not possible to process a DV5 MKV on its own, as it cannot be disassembled.

The monkey head also has a BDinfo under Launchpad, if you use this you will see the information
