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 sbc 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.

    Would mostly be used by hobbiest making their own burned discs and small artists releasing stuff.

    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.
