Environment: MacOS 10.5.5, MacBook Pro (Core Duo), 2GB memory, VLC 0.9.2
I decided to give the Dirac codec, which is now part of VLC 0.9.2, a go and ran into a few issues. The videos I downloaded are from:
http://dirac.kw.bbc.co.uk/download/video/maybefinal/
specifically bbb-tr1000.ts, diracpromo-tr1000.ts and ed-tr1000.ts.
All the movies start off playing fine for a couple of seconds and then blocks slowly consuming more CPU. If I leave the situation as is I end up having to force quit VLC.
Would submitting the force-quit log be of any benefit?

Dirac playback issues
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Re: Dirac playback issues
I have no issues with these samples. Might be a CPU power issue. I do know that atm our decoder plugin (written by the BBC btw) probably isn't really good at skipping frames yet.

Re: Dirac playback issues
Just for reference what is minimum configuration you managed to play the video with, or at least what configuration did you use? I realise that the codec probably still needs work, in terms of optimisation, though I would like to know what to expect at the moment.

Re: Dirac playback issues
I was testing on a Core2Duo 2.2 Ghz. So that is a small difference in performance i guess.
