Blox video codec

[JJ]

Hi!

Some time ago I've started working on a new video codec. Since it has become quite usable (i. e. encoding and playback work) I thought that it's time to introduce it to a broader audience and get some feedback .

The homepage of this project is: http://www.ii.uj.edu.pl/~jezabek/blox/

About the codec: there is nothing revolutionary in this codec (yet ), it's based on similar principles as MPEG - in fact it was started because I wanted to better understand the basics of DCT-based compression. The quality and speed are quite crappy at the moment, but now that the basic infrastructure is complete I'm planning to spend more time on improving them.

I would like to hear your opinions and comments on this codec. If you're a developer and notice problems that you've come across earlier (and that you possibly know how to solve), I will be grateful for help - Blox is still in an early stage of development and surely contains many bugs/bad design choices.

Thanks,
JJ
