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.

Unless you get new DVD players to support AV1, just put the AV1 files on a data DVD…

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.
