Dirac Compression System
-------------------------

Dirac is a video compression system that provides general-purpose video compression and decompression tools comparable with state-of-the-art systems. Dirac is a format and compression technology, not a specific codec. The most important part of the Dirac project is the specification which can be found at http://diracvideo.org/specifications.

Dirac Project
-------------
The initial implementation of Dirac at resulted in a research implementation which is referred to as the Dirac codebase. It is now called dirac-research. It is a reference implementation and also a codebase for future algorithmic developments. Dirac 1.0.0 is the release of this codebase.

Information about Dirac and the associated projects can be found at http://diracvideo.org

What's new in this release
--------------------------
Several alpha and beta releases have preceded this release. The changes in 1.0.0 release are:

- Compliance with Dirac Bytestream specification 2.2.2
- Adaptive GOP structure
- Improved motion estimation.
- Improved pre-filtering.
- Major code refactor of encoder classes.
- Added conversion utility for horizontal 3/4 filtering.
- DirectShow Filter released to be able to play back Dirac v2.2.2 files raw bytestreams and Dirac wrapped in AVI in Windows Media Player.

Dirac content creation and playback
