BBC and Fluendo are working on a new implementation of the Dirac codec. The goal of this new implementation is to focus on speed and maintainability.
Two libraries will be developed in ANSI C, one for decoding of the Dirac video codec and for for encoding. You can find out more about the project here: http://schrodinger.sourceforge.net As part of this project we will also make sure the Dirac video codec can be contained in the Ogg container format and work with Xiph.org to ensure that this mapping is acceptable to the Xiph community. The code is not yet in a working state, but interested people are suggested to join the mailing list or check out development as it proceeds in our Subversion repository. Working with BBC and Fluendo on this project is David Schleef, who is also the primary author of the liboil optimization library. This message is meant as a notice for interested parties, a more formal announcement will be made once the project is further along.
