oxideav-h261 0.0.3

//! H.261 encoder — Baseline (I + P pictures, integer-pel MC, FIL loop filter).
//!
//! Public entry points:
//!
//! * [`encode_intra_picture`] — single I-picture, stateless.
//! * [`encode_inter_picture`] — single P-picture, requires a reconstructed
//!   reference picture (typically the local recon of the previous output).
//! * [`H261Encoder`] — stateful sequence encoder that produces an I-picture
//!   on the first frame and P-pictures thereafter, maintaining the local
//!   reconstruction across calls.
//!
//! No rate control, no half-pel MC (H.261 §3.2.2 specifies integer-pel
//! components in `[-15, 15]` only — there is no half-pel mode in the
//! standard). The loop filter (`Inter+MC+FIL` MTYPEs, §3.2.3) is enabled and
//! selected on a per-MB rate/distortion basis. Each P-picture macroblock
//! chooses one of:
//!
//! * **Skip** — when the best MV is `(0, 0)` and the residual quantises to
//!   all zeros. Absorbed into the next coded MBA difference.
//! * **`Inter`** (no MC) — when the best MV is `(0, 0)` but residual is
//!   non-zero and the unfiltered branch wins.
//! * **`Inter+MC` (MC-only)** — when the best MV is non-zero and the
//!   residual quantises to all zeros (predictor alone is good enough).
//! * **`Inter+MC` with CBP+TCOEFF** — when the best MV is non-zero and at
//!   least one block carries residual.
//! * **`Inter+MC+FIL` (MC-only, filtered)** — same as MC-only but with the
//!   spatial loop filter (§3.2.3) applied to the predictor. Per Table 2
//!   Note 2 the MV may be zero. The 3-bit MTYPE (vs 9-bit MC-only) makes
//!   this a frequent win whenever the filter does not raise residual energy
//!   above the 6-bit MTYPE saving threshold.
//! * **`Inter+MC+FIL` with CBP+TCOEFF** — filtered predictor + residual.
//!
//! Motion estimation is full-window SAD over the ±15 pel range allowed by
//! H.261 Annex A, with a small λ·(|mvx|+|mvy|) penalty biasing ties toward
//! the shorter MV (cheaper VLC, more skips downstream). Chroma MVs are
//! `mvluma / 2` truncated toward zero per §3.2.2.
//!
//! ## Picture layer (§4.2.1)
//!
//! ```text
//!   PSC (20)  0000 0000 0000 0001 0000
//!   TR  (5)   temporal reference
//!   PTYPE(6)  bit1 split, bit2 doccam, bit3 freeze-release,
//!             bit4 source format (0=QCIF, 1=CIF), bit5 HI_RES (1=off),
//!             bit6 spare (always 1 per §4.1)
//!   PEI (1)   0 — we never emit PSPARE
//! ```
//!
//! ## GOB layer (§4.2.2)
//!
//! ```text
//!   GBSC (16) 0000 0000 0000 0001
//!   GN   (4)  1..=12 (CIF) or 1,3,5 (QCIF)
//!   GQUANT(5) quantiser index 1..=31
//!   GEI  (1)  0 — we never emit GSPARE
//! ```
//!
//! ## MB layer
//!
//! For INTRA MBs (I-picture and any I MBs in a P-picture):
//!
//! * MBA VLC — `Diff(1)` for the first coded MB, then 1-differences.
//! * MTYPE = `Intra` (4-bit `0001`), no MQUANT override.
//! * CBP is implicit (all 6 blocks are always coded).
//! * 6 blocks (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Cb, Cr). Each block is INTRA DC + AC.
//!
//! For INTER MBs (P-picture):
//!
//! * MBA VLC — difference from the previous coded MB (skipped MBs are
//!   absorbed into the difference per §4.2.3.3).
//! * MTYPE — chosen from `Inter` / `Inter+MC` / `Inter+MC` (CBP+TCOEFF)
//!   based on the MV and residual.
//! * MVD — two VLCs (x, y) per Table 3, present only for the MC variants.
//! * CBP — selects which of the 6 blocks carry residual data (Table 4).
//!   When all six would be uncoded and the MV is zero we skip the MB.
//! * Each coded block is a TCOEFF VLC stream with `1s` first-coefficient
//!   shortcut and `11s` for subsequent (0,1) coefficients.
//!
//! ### MVD predictor reset
//!
//! §4.2.3.4 mandates the MV predictor be reset to `(0, 0)` for MBs 1, 12,
//! and 23 (start of each MB row in a GOB), at MBA discontinuity, and when
//! the previous MB was not MC-coded. The encoder follows the spec exactly
//! so ffmpeg interop holds. To keep the local decoder byte-tight (which
//! does not row-reset on its own) we force the MV at MBs 11 and 22 to
//! `(0, 0)` so `prev_was_mc` is false going into MBs 12 / 23 — both
//! decoders then derive the same predictor.
