It just never happened in the past that I'm not able to play a video file on my TV or on my PC and I did play lots and lots of over 80GB 4k HDR video files from my external SSD.

It is probably my PC and my 2021 bravia TV not powerful enough for this video file, it happens...

Once again thanks for your great work, cheers.

It is not just you. The file has some different encoding settings. 
I could not play it in any player (even a dedicated player like OPPO could not open the file) until recently. I tried to convert it to mkv or m2ts but it did not solve the issue, it even crashed my computer.
That being said, i finally was able to play it in madvr+mpc be in a PC with a rtx 3060. The result is incredible, as i said, it is the best version ever, and my preferred one.
The HDR version had some insane level of nits, specifically 65535. It should be limited to a range of 1000-5000.



@Klexos I would like to try to reencode the file with minimal loss, so i can play it in any device, would you mind telling me a tool to do so?
And congrats again on this project, it is incredible to see this in a big screen.

My greatest pleasure you enjoy it my friend.
The MaxCLL/FALL_Original value at 65535 cd/m2 are not the actual nit values,
The actual HDR mastering was done in the 5K range, the true HDR values are as below, as they also come up when opening the file's mediainfo.
I firmly believe the reason for the difficulty of playing it is the 4:4:4 Chroma Subsampling, so simply re-encoding it to the industry standard default 4:2:0 should make the file a lot more compatible.
FFMPEG and DVDFab are both good options to re-encode it at your desired settings.

Code:

Well, you were absolutely right. I encoded some minutes of it with the 4:2:0 Chroma Subsampling and the playback was correct without any issues.
If anyone experience any problems that is the solution.
I will update once i test more.

You couldn't remux it because of this:

I don't know what it is, but removing the stream with ffmpeg lets you mux into mkv just fine.

You couldn't remux it because of this:

Code:

  Stream #0:2(eng): Data: none (tmcd / 0x64636D74)
    Metadata:
      creation_time   : 2021-12-11T14:34:02.000000Z
      handler_name    : Core Media Data Handler
      timecode        : 01:00:00:00

I don't know what it is, but removing the stream with ffmpeg lets you mux into mkv just fine.

Thanks for the info. Can you post the exact command you used? Will be useful for everyone!

The exact command is

ffmpeg is a very useful tool, worth learning how to use.
