I'm not saying that Dirac doesn't present advantages over Ogg Theora
but I believe that, since it's now so omnipresent, Flash will be hard
to topple out of the market.

I believe you live in England. Does the BBC, who mainly developed
Dirac, use Dirac for webcasting? Who are the associates who
participated in development. AI couldn't find any after a quick at
Google's.

Because of DRM, it even seems unsure the BBC itself will use it:
