If you understand how video codecs work and the troubles getting video formats to skip to different frames this LDI format makes MUCH more sense.
It makes more sense than mame's current ld format btw. So why are they still doing that one again? I mean if you are worried about the quality, change the jpg to a lossless compressed png and you are good to go.
This is more true to how laserdic players operate as well. Most players back in the day would let to advance exactly one frame at a time on the remote, something you really can't even do on bluray players today.
So I'm guessing it would be a headerless PCM (aka "raw" file) for the audio that's streamed one frame at a time?
I think loading that many jpgs in rapid succession could get a bit hairy, but otherwise I'm loving that format!
