Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed at resolutions from QCIF (176x144) to HDTV (1920x1080) progressive or interlaced. It uses wavelets, motion compensation and arithmetic coding and aims to be competitive with other state of the art codecs.

    Gotta agree, even tho I've followed its development for a while and compiled several versions, the lack of binaries will keep it out of reach for most people..ESPECIALLY when it hits a 1.0.0... but I'm sure there will soon be "Koepi's" of this one too..or other well known binaries..

    Don't get me wrong, Dirac is very interesting (and probably very good) video codec. But. Posting source code on BetaNews is dull. If you want to publish Dirac - publish binaries.
