I am interested in Your Dirac codec but I could not find anywhere information about the estimated latency. What are the predicted values for the online streaming at SD resolution, and what to HD 720p and 1080p? Is this value changed according to the video quality? And last question: When can we expect the next release of ffmpeg2dirac? It is very useful tool but I think it needs more detailed information about specific Dirac/Schrodinger encoder options (eg options that affect the quality of lossless encoding). The implementation of FLAC (and possibly Speex) audio would be a good move too but I guess it rather depends on ffmppeg2theora or Xiph.Org development.
The question of latency was not unfounded. Have You heard about OnLive? They use new interactive video compression algorithm. Latency through the algorithm is just 1-ms instead of the 0.5- to 0.75-second lag inherent in conventional compression algorithms used in corporate video conferencing solutions, for example. While OnLive's backend servers do the heavy crunching, pretty much any PC or Mac has the power to decompress the video at what's perceived to be real-time. I am very curious whether your engineers are able to match these values. Yours sincerely Norbert
