Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

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.

Think about mp3 CDs…

…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.
