Default Uncompressed Digital Video vs. Uncompressed Digital Audio

I guess. The nearest equivalent would obviously be standard DVD, MPEG-II,
but unfortunately you still have the country dependant format variations
for
frame size and frame rate etc.


Um, MPEG is compressed. I was looking for uncompressed digital video.

However even PCM audio you first asked about, comes in a lot more formats
than 16/44.1 CD audio you now mention, so they are not that dissimilar
after
all.


Yeah, these days . There's CDR, CD-RW, CR+RW.


CDR, CD-RW, CR+RW are writing formats. They have nothing
to do with audio except that one of their many uses is to
make either data discs with audio files on them, or to burn
"Red Book" audio CDs.

I was taking about the common audio CDs used in the 80s.


The "common audio CDs" used today are identical to the ones
from the "80s". Do you think there is some difference?

Any *uncompressed* digital video equivalent of that good
ole' 80s CD audio?


Certainly not in the consumer arena and very rare in the
professional one.
