As a big user and fan of c# but this is a miss, as it always boxes value types.

I'm worried that by supporting too many encodings and color spaces this will hamper adoption and unexpected unsupported files.
Perhaps this is more of an encoder/decoder library issue, which hopefully will give us rec2020 rgb32/rgb10a2 encode/decode apis so we can simply use them without having to know so many details.

We used Lua in the past, but mostly because doing quick iterations in c++ in that project was unrealistic due to 10+ minute build times.

The video quality makes it seem like even at full attention you would see it too late, but most eyes see a lot better than that.
Ofc the driver here is paying near 0 attention.

Very interesting, when better formats like vorbis were too cpu intensive for my game I ended up with striped and delta encoded wav compressed using lz4hc for something that was somewhat compressed, streamable and light on the cpu, this seems somewhat close to that.

Yup, it's been improving again lately, had to take close to a year off due to burnout, also vitamins, sport, sleep, and more time with irl friends/coworkers.
Now back to a point that feels like 80% of preburnout.
