Am I correct in understanding that, in general, there are *no* costs for Dirac, in general? And if that is the case, that means "lower" means "no", right? Aside from that, I cannot wait for the full rollout of the implementation of Dirac in the free software stacks and players (e.g., VLC), because this will greatly accelerate the adoption of Dirac into the mainstream. Another question - how good is Dirac, in general, over unreliable connections - for example, where part of the bitstream is delivered and another isn't - such as when doing webcam video conferencing? Will it work well with this?

Another question – how good is Dirac, in general, over unreliable connections – for example, where part of the bitstream is delivered and another isn’t – such as when doing webcam video conferencing? Will it work well with this?

Sorry for the deluge of questions…:)
