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

[Raphael Canut]

Hi all,

Very quickly if it could be of interest, I have added on my demo page (
http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/) a higher quality setting for my codec
(nhw_encoder.exe filename.bmp -h1).Files are larger of 3-6Ko.Precision is a
little better.This is a first version, the quality setting is certainly not
optimal for now...

If you could find little time, any suggestion or improvement would be, as
usual, very appreciated.If you also think that this thread would be more
appropriate on another discussion group, also do not hesitate to let me
know.

Many thanks again,
Raphael
