I created a script that can convert a Profile 7 MakeMKV backup to Profile 8.1 to help anyone looking for 1-step drag & drop method.

  1. You can download from here: Profile7to8.zip
  2. Extract the ZIP file somewhere convenient.
  3. Just drag & drop the directory containing your Profile 7 MKV file(s) onto the file named DropDirHere_Profile7to8.bat
  4. Wait for it to finish.

To make things easier, you can right-click on the DropDirHere_Profile7to8.bat file and select Show more options > Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). Then you’ll have an easy-to-use Shortcut on your desktop that you can drag the folder containing the Profile 7 MKV file(s) to.

P.S. This takes care of converting from Profile 7 to Profile 8.1 as well as converting from CMv4 to CMv2.9 if necessary.

CREDIT: Just want to call out that this script is only possible because of dovi_tool and help I received from @quietvoid. The script is also using MKVToolNix. The tools are bundled with the zip in the tools folder; updating to newer versions of these tools is as easy as replacing the respective exe files.
