Perhaps someone should assemble a list of unpresued directions?

My most recent thought:

Using some sort of 'space filling' curve to reduce the 3d video data to
lower dimensionality before or after 2d transform to overcome any pitfalls
of using a 3d transform directly (the sharp discontunity between the
resoultiof of {x,y} and {z} axises gave me problems when expirmenting with a
3d transform directly).

A thought here, Monty's code is, as usual, increadibly flexible and well
coded.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one advantage of a 'huffman coupled vector'
coder is that it can perform simmlarly to an arithmetic coder. (No? Main
advantage of of an arithmetic coder is that it works more optimilly when the
symbol probabilities are not negitive powers of 2, a huff coded vector coder
can represent such sets using negitive power of two probability symbols with
non-negitive power of two 'subsymbols')
