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.
