Of course a (re-)muxing process natively, has nothing to do with re-encoding, de-interlacing, etc. So again, IMO it's about how you (want to) look at it. Or, if one tries to resolve an issue by muxing a sourcefile only with added/other muxing-settings, I would call that a remux too. Suppose you import a mkv into mkvtoolnix, drop a source-subtitle and add another one, mux to mkv again. In my view, the word remux would not only be used when 'keeping original source streams and mux into another container'. It's subject to consideration indeed, as ron spencer stated. Pre-playback, software de-interlacing for me forcibly comes into play when I need to slow-down certain sped-up (24fps based) PAL music material to native speed (4% speed-change for music is awfully much and can completely devastate groove & rhythm and tonal experience).Īs for the 'remux phrase' itself, it's how you want to look at it.

As stated earlier, it often is better to leave it as-is. To do this I use ffmpeg and x265.īoth the Base Layer (10 seconds of solid black) and the Enhancement Layer (10 seconds of solid gray) will have the following characteristics (refer to the document ' Dolby Vision Profiles & Levels').Normally I let my player or tv take care of de-interlacing. The basic idea is to create a solid black DV profile 7 FEL UHD-BD compliant file (10 seconds duration). I leave the whole process here in case anyone wants to review it. I don't think you need an expensive tool and no license to create a working DV file. We have become like monkeys that imitate perfectly Here on the forum we have gained a deep understanding of the structure of these Dolby Vision files. 679973445Īnyone have examples of public domain or open source Dolby Vision content? The author included actual video snippets in the code that prove Dolby Vision is recognized, and the snippets are from publicly available clips on Dolby's website, but Dolby's terms of use say you can't modify any of their content in any way. The pull request to add Dolby Vision support to ExoPlayer is stalled.
