IIRC, this was not only tried several years ago, but patented by MS (the 
wavelet approach). This may not be the best approach, however, because 
these are lossy techniques applied to a lossless coding problem. You 
can't just throw away bits of your motion vectors like you can your 
residual data, because even a small change can introduce a large amount 
of error (consider a checkerboard or striped pattern).
