Doesn't ANYBODY but me remember that "Napster" was actually RealNetworks? You know, the old Real.com that was the Internet's first scale, commercial streamer? Real became Rhapsody for several years. Rhapsody had no name recognition, so they bought the Napster name from it's owners... BEST BUY.

It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.

Yes; I did not say that it's impossible, only that it's very difficult. And then they never did it again, because it was easier to do with the conventional isotopes such as Pu239 and U235.
In all isotope chains there are candidates for use as fissile bomb material, but some are just not worth the effort to use.

I played with svt-av1/ffmpeg about a year ago and my conclusions were about the same as yours or worse. Depending on the source material, the space/bandwidth savings were between about 15% and -10% (yes, 10% larger than the source material) while power consumption and CPU utilization was much larger that software h264/265
