DVD codec probably allows for a certain amount of error correction to recover from scratches, images can still look readable to humans despite a bit of noise, I wonder if there’s enough overlap there to meet in the middle and have an image that also stores data
replyA bit like those AI images that were also working QR codes from a while back.[1]
replyWould be a really interesting challenge to find the point where maximally useful data meets a maximally good image. The data goes through layers of encoding to become data on disc, so it wouldn't be easy, but we already have a one-way translation here in this tool.

Even if that is possible for a pristine disc, you really do want that error recovery for discs people are actually expected to use.
