different intra block coding (previous was just an ugly hack)
1.8% bitrate reduction -0.01PSNR (foreman@352x288 qscale=8)
1.5% bitrate reduction +0.05PSNR (foreman@352x288 qscale=1)

wavelet based compare functions
make epzs_motion_search() more flexible so it can be used for a wider range of block sizes
make get_penalty_factor() independant of MpegEncContext

be somewhat more tollerant on invalid input
return INT_MAX instead of -1 for unuseable mv/mb types as that ensures nicely that they arent used
initalize limits earlier for b frames
a few more asserts to check for out of picture vectors
Originally committed as revision 3213 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
finetune bit/distortion weighting factor used in motion estimation, the old coeffs where finetuned relative to incorrect mv_penalty tables which where then fixed later but the coeffs where not
this _may_ fix the long standing blocking artifacts, but may also introduce mudding artefacts theoretically, so please tell us if u stumble across any so we can either fix them or export this variable so the user can change it

currently works only with mpeg1/2 source or some luck
may need -sync 0 as otherwise framedrops could lead to extreemly long b frame sequences
Originally committed as revision 3042 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
replace ugly macros by always_inline functions, that way its much more readable and flexible as always_inline can simply be removed while the macros couldnt be
about 0.5 % speedup with default parameters

multithreaded/SMP encoding for MPEG1/MPEG2/MPEG4/H263
all pthread specific code is in pthread.c
to try it, run configure --enable-pthreads and ffmpeg ... -threads <num>
the internal thread API is a simple AVCodecContext.execute() callback which executes a given function pointer with different arguments and returns after finishing all, that way no mutexes or other thread-mess is needed outside pthread.c

bug was introduced in version 1.75 (2003-12-30)
this may have lead to a small drop in quality of the 4mv mode, but should have only affected the mbd=0 case
Originally committed as revision 2698 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
function moved to dspcontext
mmx&mmx2 optimized
change SSE -> SAD as default (better quality)
vbv buffer size command line option in kbyte
Originally committed as revision 2669 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
interlaced mpeg2 encoding
P & B frames
rate distored interlaced mb decission
alternate scantable support
4mv encoding fixes (thats also why the regression tests change)
passing height to most dsp functions
interlaced mpeg4 encoding (no direct mode MBs yet)
various related cleanups
disabled old motion estimaton algorithms (log, full, ...) they will either be fixed or removed
Originally committed as revision 2638 to svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk
more direct use of the new mb_type stuff instead of codec specific stuff
runtime mb_type debug output h264/h263 variants/mpeg1/2/4
error concealment /resilience for mpeg1/2
various minor optimizations
