[theora] NHW codec - improvement of precision (Daniel Hendrycks)

[Raphael Canut]

Hello,

I have just added the source code of my codec on my demo page:
http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ .

This version is for fixed 512x512 bitmap color image for the moment
(requires just few minor fixings to adapt to any size of image, and first
one, as image dimensions must be multiples of 4 in both directions, if not
the case, fill with blank or replicate borders...).It has been compiled
under Visual C++... There is also just one quality setting (the one of the
binaries), lower and higher quality settings would require additional code
and processing (but it is not validated for now, there are many
parameters...), so I have removed the quality settings structure for now...

Hope this work could be of interest, if you would have time, any comment
would be really appreciated.

Many thanks again,
Raphael
