[Ambulant-users] flac and dirac on ambulant beta

[jose at multimedia4everyone.com]

Hello Again,

I was pleasantly surprised to hear 2.2b2 Linux, 2.2b5 Win/Wine Ambulant
play a Flac audio file. Then I had to see if it would play a Dirac
video, no luck.

Anybody try Dirac on Ambulant recently?

The lossless flac could be used for master copies or when a lossy audio
file has to be edited without losing any quality.

The same is true about Dirac, the lossless mode used for master copies.
On some videos it might look better than Theora.

A choice of free formats what could be better :)

Take Care,
Jose

PS I used

and

for the Dirac transcoding.
