[edit] Schroedinger and VLC
VLC supports decoding Dirac video via the schroedinger library as of 0.9.2 release from 2008-September-15, not much documented or advertised however. No encoding support.
Extensive instructions are available at www.videolan.org to compile your own version of VLC. Schroedinger support is automatic if the library is detectable via pkg-config.
VLC binaries are built for several platforms on a daily basis, and the latest versions (0.9.3) can be found at nightlies.videolan.org
[edit] Supported container formats
[edit] Raw Dirac streams
FIXME - does this work?
[edit] Dirac in ogg
The VLC ogg demultiplexer has been patched to demux dirac video correctly. Limitations of the ogg format mean that the file duration displayed in VLC is incorrect, but otherwise playback and seeking work well. The dirac video can be muxed with any of the audio formats supported by the VLC ogg demux, such as Vorbis.
FIXME - insert link to muxing spec, provide example movies, test
[edit] Dirac in MPEG Transport stream
The VLC TS demultiplexer has been patched to demux dirac video that is contained in a transport stream muxed according to FIXME. Audio can be of any of the formats supported by the VLC TS demuxer, such as MPEG1-layer2.
