Dolby Vision: MKVToolnix update

To everybody using DV material in MKVToolnix.

Mosu, the creator of MKVToolnix just updated his tool after - amongst others - discovering some flaws with DV handling in version 56.0.0 and 56.1.0.

Version 57.0.0 has the necessary fixes. https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html

 

Great catch - many thanks.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Thanks, how does this bug impact the MKV playback?

I ripped my discs using MakeMKV but I combine movies split on 2 discs i.e. Lord of the Rings and Lawrence of Arabia using the previous versions of MKVToolNix.

Would it fix it if I just rerun the combined MKV through version 57.0.0?

Otherwise I have to rerip and combine again I guess, already deleted the original rips to save some disk space.

I don't think remuxing with v57.0.0 would help. You can import your "flawed" mkv into latest MakeMKV and see if a remux with that tool will fix your issues.
When this works, it may be an easier & faster process than having to re-rip your discs with MakeMKV and remuxing with MKVToolnix again.

 

Thanks! That's a good idea, I'll give it a try. Cheers.
