DVDDL
DVDDL stands for Digital Video Description Language. In this context, it is described as a domain-specific language designed to describe digital video data structures, streams, codecs, containers, timing, and associated metadata in a machine-readable form. The goal is to provide a precise, extensible description that can be used by asset management systems, transcoding pipelines, and quality assurance tools.
DVDDL emphasizes declarative syntax and modularization. Descriptions are organized into components such as Video, Audio, Subtitle
Core concepts include media streams, track groups, and relationships (for example, a video track associated with
Example DVDDL description: container: MP4; video: codec: H.264; width: 1920; height: 1080; framerate: 30; color_space: Rec.
DVDDL is used conceptually to document media specifications and enable automated workflows. In practice, multiple toolchains
