x265 Dolby Vision Encode Failed

Post by jimmyrustles1111 »

Description of problem or question:
I'm trying to encode a Dolby Vision file using x265 10-bit but the encode is failing immediately with error message "x265 [error]: Dolby Vision profile - 8.1 requires Mastering display color volume information". Can anyone explain what these means and how to fix it?

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.7.2 flatpak

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

HandBrake Activity Log ***required***

The mastering display color volume info can be added manually in the additional options field, but first you need to know what's the actual info. Do mediainfo reports them in the source file?
