Dirac uses way more CPU power than Theora, so it's not the best format for ingame movies (at least not for those games that don't require the newest hardware anyway). But there's work going on to improve the Theora encoder (see e.g. http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=526) to give vastly improved video. So for anyone experimenting with encoding to Theora it might be a good idea to wait for this to finish, because it'll allow the resulting video to be better quality and smaller size. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
