Thanks for the update on Dirac. When do you expect the bitstream
format to be frozen?=20
Does Dirac aim at becoming a member in the Ogg family, or are you
primarily working towards a standalone format?

Given that you are competitive with H264, are you also demanding the
same kind of processing power?
