Dolby Vision RPU not found for POC

[jriker1]

Use dovi_tool for a lot of dolby vision content. I basically export the HEVC from the BlueRay, do my video cleanup on the HEVC file, then re-encode with ffmpeg injecting the dolbyvision content again. This time I received the message in the subject over and over during encoding.

Basic commands:

dovi_tool -m 2 extract-rpu "The Matrix- Resurrections_t00_track1_[eng].hevc"

then do some neatvideo cleanup in Premiere. export as MOV. Then run the below:

ffmpeg -i "The Matrix- Resurrections_t00.mkv" -sn -an -f yuv4mpegpipe -strict -1 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le - | x265-10b - --input-depth 10 --output-depth 10 --y4m --preset slow --hdr10 --hdr10-opt --high-tier --repeat-headers --crf 17 --master-display "G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(40000000,50)" --max-cll "1044,648" --chromaloc 2 --no-sao --range limited --keyint 24 --colormatrix bt2020nc --colorprim bt2020 --transfer smpte2084 --dolby-vision-rpu rpu.bin --dolby-vision-profile 8.1 --vbv-bufsize 160000 --vbv-maxrate 160000 Matrix2021-converted.hevc

Again do this same process over and over for content first time I think I've seen this.

Your RPU is clearly incomplete if it's missing metadata for frames, not a dovi_tool issue.
The source file is probably invalid.

Looks like it created an 13k file but there is no metadata for any of the frames or the frames a CMD prompt will buffer. Not sure if there is a way to interrogate the file and see whats in it.

dovi_tool info -s RPU.bin

[jriker1]

Thanks yes something must be wrong. When I extract the MKV from the BD content with MakeMKV dovi_tool extracts like 71k of frames which is maybe a 1/3 of the video? If I use tsmuxer it returns nothing.

[quietvoid]

Is your BD created by tsMuxer? There's a known issue with MakeMKV causing this.

[jriker1]

It is basically the original m2ts off the Blue Ray that I exported with MakeMKV.
