Just tried the DIRAC Decoder / Source / Splitter filter located at; http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=132196

but am unable to make it work. I can't get the samples to play.

Is DIRAC only a type of compression or is it also a package?

If its not a new container format, then why did Gabest create a Splitter filter for it?

I also downloaded "movsd-dirac.zip", from http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=%2Fparties%2F2004%2Fmarast04%2Fdemo%2Fmovsd-dirac.zip&fileinfo, but i'm not even sure it concerns the Dirac Project. Does anyone have experience with this?
