    I’ve always kinda thought about implementing a software and standard for 1080p av1 on DVD. Would be neat as a project, obviously no commercial use would exist.

    Either way you can get some really impressive encodes out of av1, really neat tech.

        No that’s the idea, it would be to make a piece of software which if thrown on a sbc with a DVD drive becomes a player.

        Which really isn’t too far off of DVD and most bluray players.

        Though I wouldn’t be shocked if the super cheap DVD players have some sorta all-in-one integrated asic for most of the job.

        Would mostly be used by hobbiest making their own burned discs and small artists releasing stuff.

          I mean if you control the software on the “player” you don’t really need a dedicated dvd format. Think about mp3 CDs, it never became a real format with specs and everything yet most CD players after a certain date supported them.

            Yeah but if you make it an open format other hobbyists could make their own hardware/software about it.

            Mostly a fantasy medium, but if people start using it for art, then hey neat.
