motion estimation takes place in ff_epzs_motion_search() and
sub_motion_search() which are called from encode_q_branch()
or alternatively if high quality iterative ME is used then ME takes place
in iterative_me()

current_picture and the input can be found at new_picture/input_picture

the motion vectors are calculted in the motion estimation code

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct awnser.
