Handbrake does not retain Dolby Vision

[Deleted User 51585]

I tried Handbrake 1.7.3 (flatpak) under Kubuntu 23.10 or Manjaro, there's the same problem with the same source/settings file, Handbrake does NOT retain Dolby Vision under Linux.

With Handbrake 1.7.3 under Windows 11 and the same source file and settings everything works fine, Dolby Vision is well preserved.

How do I keep Dolby Vision on Linux?

Thanks

Could you please post your HB logs, instructions can be found here:

It is possible the Flatpak is built without libdovi support, which I'm not sure the log will necessarily show; ritsuka would perhaps know.

[JohnAStebbins]

The flatpak on flathub is indeed built without libdovi. Building rust libs and applications with flatpak builder currently has issues due to how cargo downloads dependencies. flatpak builder is sandboxed and does not permit this kind of network access.

We are working on resolving this, see https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/pull/5819. Hopefully we can rectify in the next release.

I'm using v1.7.3, installed from ubuntuhandbook1/handbrake repo and still DV is not retained.

I'm scratching my head as well to figure out why. Can anyone pla help?

This is not an official build. You'll have to talk to whoever packaged this. They probably neglected to enable libdovi in the build.

[MacDas]

That's what I was slowly getting at.
Is the any Linux build atm has libdovi enabled? I believe Flatpak build doesn't have that either?

-S

[MacDas]

it also fails to compile on Ubuntu 22.04 with this:

Code: Select all

gmake: *** [../contrib/libdovi/module.rules:2: contrib/libdovi/.stamp.libdovi.configure] Error 127

whilst using --enable-libdovi

[MacDas]

'morning all!!
anyone has any answer to why libdovi build is failing? Can anyone help at all?

[Rodeo314]

Not without the full build log, no.

Missing build dependencies.

Cargo / Rust are missing:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
cargo install cargo-c
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

[MacDas]

thank you very much @s55 - that Cargo was the main missing bit.
After installing `libgtk-4-dev` the build was a success.

[MacDas]

Now, ned to make a .deb out of that.

[MacDas]

Also, cargo should be added to documentation, where it lists all the pkgs to meet the dependencies on Ubuntu.
WE can simpley do:

Code: Select all

apt install cargo 

on ubuntu, which also install Rustc centrally.

[Ritsuka]

Uhm the configure script checks already for cargo and cargoc, unfortunately it seems it doesn't disable libdovi if you force it on.

[s55]

Yup, the docs are in need of an update

[MacDas]

also, libgtk-3-dev didn't work in Ubuntu 22.04. I had to install libgtk-4-dev instead

[MacDas]

works perfectly now, including complining, building .deb and creating the MKV with DV support.

I have put together a quick script here to do a end-to-end package build: https://pastebin.com/raw/NEjGdsm0
also created this post: viewtopic.php?p=205888 with some details

Thaks everyone for helping!!
