Help me understand. Currently I only get DV with MKV file and not BDMV, right?
So if I convert my BDMV to MKV can I get the DV?
If so, what program do you recommend me to buy?
jkauff:
If you use MakeMKV, you already have the tool you want.
If not, download the latest beta. I got the paid version years ago to support the development team, and I'd recommend that for anyone who uses it on a regular basis.

JRiver can only decode DV, and only the MEL portion right now. It cannot pass DV through to your display. Currently, the most advisable option is continue to rip your BDMVs, as well as creating MKVs. MakeMKV can create MKVs from UHD + DV discs, that have a perfect HDR fallback, while still retaining the DV information. This is what I'm doing, it doesn't make sense to throw out the DV portion since, DV on UHD disc has a fallback anyways.
Full DV playback with FEL is still a minefield. Select hardware players sort of have it down but I haven't really looked into the support matrix in the last like 8 months. Lots has changed. A huge barrier IMO was the lack of android TV boxes with a second H265 hardware decoder which is required for FEL.
Hendrik:
I wouldn't recommend trying to force processing of a Blu-ray DV title through JRVR right now. Without full processing, especially on FEL titles, the resulting image may not necessarily be "better", as its unpredictable what half the processing might do.
lello:
Sorry Hendrik, but I'm too ignorant on the subject to understand your answer: are you saying that you shouldn't convert BD UHD DV to MKV?
Is it better to wait for the future (maybe) Dolby Vision Enhancement Layer support?
