Dirac Open Source Video Codec

Home
|
Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed at
resolutions from QCIF (180x144) 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. The Open Source implementation
provides a C++ library with an encoder and decoder.
The Dirac software source code is licensed under
