OT: Trevor -- any idea how to use this new codec?

>From Slashdot:

According to their website, 'Dirac is an advanced royalty-free video
compression format designed for a wide range of uses, from delivering
low-resolution web content to broadcasting HD and beyond, to
near-lossless studio editing.' Now a stable version of the
dirac-research codebase, Dirac 1.0.0, has been released. The BBC have
already successfully used the new codec during the Beijing Olympics
and are looking to push it to more general use throughout the
organisation. The latest version of VLC (the recently released 0.9.2)
has support for Dirac using the Schroedinger library."

Looks interesting...
