love the cover, reminds me of the original Storm the Studio LP cover

Bit-stuffing and HDLC-like encoding at the physical level, Disc Description Protocol format level, volume format level, file spec level, elementary bitstream spec level, navigation and presentation info spec level… it’s frames and encoding all the way down

yeeeeees, but I used to have a more precise, accurate and clever way of saying it that prompted people to say “ohhhhhhh now I get it”

😲

😊

oh shit I hope I got this right, it’s been over a decade since I had to deal with disc data at the physical spec level. Dang, I wish I had something to promote.

Also, for error correction purposes, different patterns of fourteen bits represent different patterns of eight bits. So there is no one-to-one correspondence of pits and lands to the data actually being demultiplexed, decoded and presented by the player.

20-year packaged media authoring veteran, putting pits and lands onto shiny plastic discs so viewers can be prevented from skipping past a copyright warning. So is a pit 0 and a land 1, or is a pit 1 and a land 0?

Neither!

The transition from one state to the other is a 1.

I was legendarily bad at DuckTales as a child and later adult, and ngl calling it “perfect for younger players” rn unexpectedly hurt lmao
