I actually do not know much about all this but why shouldn't a simple
wavlet-based codec be based on blocks?  What I've seen so far was an
example using 8x8 wavlets gained via PCA.  Isn't DCT just a special case
of a wavelet transform with the advantage of high speeds due to
symmetries that allow speed optimizations analogous to FFT?
