tsMuxeR can't open .mp4 file with Dolby Vision

[spennis]

Hi,

I am trying to make a Blu-ray disc with a number of .mp4 files that have Dolby Vision (profile 5), but tsMuxeR gives me an error message saying that the format is not supported when I try to open them. Any idea why and how I can fix it?

These are professionally authered files by Diversified Video Solutions which are meant to be used for TV calibration of Dolby Vision with a colorimeter. The demo files can be found here: https://diversifiedvideosolutions.com/UHD_Project/Dolby_Vision_Test_Pattern_Demo.zip

You will have to re-encode the files if you want tsmuxer to open them.

Any instructions how to do that? And why? I thought .mp4 and Dolby Vision were supported formats.

Re-encode with vidcoder,mp4 is accepted by tsmuxer as long as it doesn't have newer advancements to when tsmuxer was created.

Eventhough both Dolby Vision sources and mp4 files can be accepted by tsMuxer, doesn't mean all of them are suited for UHD-BD muxing.
Actually, now being in the learning process regarding Dolby Vision, I dare say mp4 with Dolby Vision are often a special treat and not compliant or backwards compatible to UHD-BD. Should you be interested, there's a lot of talk about Dolby Vision at a.o. the forums at makemkv.

About your mp4 demo links, MediaInfo states color range being "full", which I honestly would not know to be UHD-BD compliant.
AAC audio is not supported in UHD-BD for sure.

Nevertheless, you can give latest nightly build of tsMuxer a try. Maybe it'll do the trick for you and will remux into BD.
Where I would be quite suspicious to loss of significant meta-data, TBH (if not already introduced during mp4 mux).

@spennis any success with converting work?
