so can I ask -
what would it take to write Dirac into single file MXF or QT as containers ? seems to me that using established well known containers would mean only needing to add the codec into the right place in your system and then you could easily r/w the files and exchange them. no doubt if Ogg container only had to live on my machine it would be fine, but exchange becomes more of an issue. I'd rather see a standard documented container with a common codec than yet another new container format. FWIW, before the win users say they don't want QT as a container, please know that you don't have to have QT installed on your machine for apps to be able to r/w it. Adobe wrote mediacore as an underlying lib that does direct I/O on several flavors of QT so that you can access QT files w/o having QT the app & libs installed on your machine. It also means a fast / mean / lean way to do QT file I/O without the limitations of PC QT32.

Since Vorbis and Theora both use the Ogg container, the goal is to merge these two plug-ins and then add other codecs so that Theora is one of many to choose from. I'm currently planning to add Dirac, VP8, VP9, PNG, and OpenEXR on the video side. Audio formats will be Vorbis, PCM, and hopefully FLAC, plus maybe Opus and Speex.
