     @purpleoptic tried Dirac? yeah I know it sound's like a Dalek but apparently it's a free format designed for streaming, developed by the BBC

     @purpleoptic dirac seems to be pretty cool and xvid is well supported by dvd-players/tvs/...

     @purpleoptic #dirac ? It was developed by the #BBC and is patent-free I believe. (The Beeb is contradictory: open stuff OOH, but DRM OTOH)

     @thistleweb @thisisabore @kelvan Thanks for the suggestion of dirac just trying it out now. there does seem to be a lack of good free codecs
