Some DV files not correctly flagging DV on playback

Post by delak »

Description of problem or question:
I've noticed that some DV files re-encoded by Handbrake are not correctly flagging DV playback correctly on some playback software e.g. emby - tested on Fire TV Max and Shield TV pro (2019).

It appears that the current version of Handbrake is adding multiple references to HDR into the HDR format field (visible in mediainfo).

Format":"HEVC",
"Format_Profile":"Main 10",
"Format_Level":"5.1",
"Format_Tier":"Main",
"HDR_Format":"Dolby Vision / SMPTE ST 2086 / SMPTE ST 2086",
"HDR_Format_Version":"1.0 / ",
"HDR_Format_Profile":"dvhe.08 / ",
"HDR_Format_Level":"06 / ",
"HDR_Format_Settings":"BL+RPU / ",
"HDR_Format_Compatibility":"HDR10 / HDR10 / HDR10",
"CodecID":"V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC",

If I demux the DV metadata out and reinject it in, the field looks normal showing a single HDR10 entry and the file correctly flags the playback device to play DV.

"Format":"HEVC",
"Format_Profile":"Main 10",
"Format_Level":"5.1",
"Format_Tier":"Main",
"HDR_Format":"Dolby Vision / SMPTE ST 2086",
"HDR_Format_Version":"1.0 / ",
"HDR_Format_Profile":"dvhe.08 / ",
"HDR_Format_Level":"06 / ",
"HDR_Format_Settings":"BL+RPU / ",
"HDR_Format_Compatibility":"HDR10 / HDR10",
"CodecID":"V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC",

I don't know if this is a bug in Handbrake, or what this technically mean, so would be appreciative if someone can explain.
I can post a couple of sample files to help.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):




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




HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Re: Some DV files not correctly flagging DV on playback

Post by wyliec2 »

I'm having a similar problem - I wasn't sure if it was related to the Dolby Vision profile conversion in Handbrake (from 7.6 to 8.1) or the duplicate SMPTE data...

I found that the profile conversion is expected but upon reading your issue, suspect it might be the duplicate HDR info. Here is what my Handbrake HDR output looks like on MediaInfo:

Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, Profile 8.1, dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, Version HDR10, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, Version HDR10, HDR10 compatible

I'm not familiar with the process you used to demux/remux the DV info. Do you have a suggestion where I could find the steps to do this???

TIA

FWIW - My Dune media players exhibited the exact same issue - not recognizing Dolby Vision content when there were duplicate SMPTE tags.

A simple and quick fix is to run the HB output through MakeMKV - all it's doing is copying the content but it seems to build new header metadata without the duplication of HDR tags. After this, the HB output plays correctly as Dolby Vision.
