If you have "inside information", perhaps you can answer the following:

So a) why did they remove the vorbis streams ? The official excuse was
"technical problems". What technical problems ?

b) Why did they never reply to my email telling them two years ago that
LiVES was now (and is probably still the only video editor in existence to
be) capable of encoding to their own Dirac format ? There is not even a
mention of it on their Dirac page...
