Dirac

I. Introduction fmpeg2dirac is a utility that converts any file that can be decoded by FFmpeg to Dirac or Theora muxed with Vorbis (if audio exists) in Ogg. It is derived from ffmpeg2theora and uses the same command line interface as ffmpeg2theora in addition to a few Dirac specific command line arguments. By default it uses the Schroedinger library to encode. If libtheora is installed, it uses the Theora encoder if --use-theora argument is provided in the command line. Detailed instructions about how to compile ffmpeg2dirac from source can be found in the INSTALL notes in the distribution. A man page, ffmpeg2dirac.1, is present with the distribution to explain the usage of the application and command line options available. II.
