Really it depends on when firefox ships liboggplay dirac/Schrödinger
branch ( developed as in-part by the mozilla-wikimedia grant)
http://metavid.org/blog/2009/01/27/mozillas-100k-theora-development-grant/ )
Firefox support will greatly increase client playback coverage and would
be worth considering wider support. The basic ogg container parsing
backend functionality has been under development to support both theora
& dirac. We would also want to ship dirac in the firefogg to enable
clients to encode to dirac. That is also under development. see
ffmpeg2dirac.
So... yes the stage is being set for wider Dirac support in Wikikmedia
and beyond ;) That being said...Theora has improved a great deal for
covering the standard definition video content range what we are focused
on for the immediate future:

How's our Dirac support these days?
