Blu Ray is where it’s at. Give me some actual quality bitrate baby.
And decent resolution: DVD is forever stuck at tiny 480p MPEG. While Blu-ray is up to 4K HEVC.

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.

That sounds interesting! I’ve been using AV1 more and more (thanks to SVT-AV1-PSY/-HDR and devs pushing improvements to main). Also enjoying FHD animated AVIF (vs ancient GIF, although gif.ski helps). AV1 video is not as soft as it once was; with synthetic film grain, and combined with OPUS audio, it’s all wonderful.
