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

[Raphael Canut]

Hello,

Many thanks for your answer.

Yes, actually the improvements are very slight and hardly visible, I have
just tested this version on more images...

At first, I validated this version because there was a slight error in the
previous one, typically for "high luminosity" like white points in a black
background (like stars in a sky...), some of these points tend to
disappear, this version corrects it.

But for the improvement of precision, that's right that it is very very
slight, globally there is a little more precision on "low contrast details"
or "textured areas" (I will have to improve my codec on these areas, but it
is the most difficult, at my very humble level, my codec is certainly
better on neater parts).So I maybe posted a little quickly, the precision
improvement is hardly visible, and certainly even with an image comparison
it will be very hard to notice and illustrate it (not a major
improvement)...

I will have to spend more time and improve it, and make a detailed image
comparison (also showing the neatness aspect of my codec...).I am planning
to do it.Hope that it is ok? If you would have other suggestion or comment
about the codec, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Many thanks again,
Raphael
