dovi_tool is a Rust CLI tool combining utilities for working with Dolby Vision metadata, including parsing, editing, generating, muxing, and demuxing RPU data in HEVC streams. It also provides libdovi, a Rust/C library for programmatic Dolby Vision metadata handling.

Use cases

• extract Dolby Vision RPU metadata from an HEVC file
• inject Dolby Vision metadata into a video
• convert Dolby Vision profile 5 to profile 8.1
• edit or generate Dolby Vision XML metadata into binary RPU
• demux and mux HEVC with Dolby Vision layers
• inspect per-frame Dolby Vision metadata as JSON

When to choose

• you need to manipulate Dolby Vision dynamic metadata in video files
• you want a fast, scriptable CLI for RPU extraction/injection
• you need a C/Rust library (libdovi) to embed Dolby Vision handling in other tools

When to avoid

• you only need basic HDR10 processing without Dolby Vision
• you want a GUI video tool rather than a command-line utility
• you need general-purpose video transcoding beyond metadata handling
