A FLOSS video codec developed by BBC.

From its web site:

"Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed at resolutions from QCIF (180x144) to HDTV (1920x1080) progressive or interlaced. It uses wavelets, motion compensation and arithmetic coding and aims to be competitive with other state of the art codecs." (More...)

It appears to be patent-Free.
