return2ozmaDVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media
Poem_for_your_sprogBlu Ray is where it’s at. Give me some actual quality bitrate baby.
vvvvanAnd 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.
No that’s the idea, it would be to make a piece of software which if thrown on a soc 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.
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 they start using it.

- …Or worse, ATRAC CDs (yes those really existed), which thankfully also never caught on because had they caught on, given ATRAC is a proprietary Sony codec, they would’ve only been able to be played back on Sony CD players which supported the ATRAC codec.
