    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.

      Think about mp3 CDs…

      • …Or worse, ATRAC CDs, 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.

      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.
