[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH][RFC] Indeo3 replacement

[Maxim]

Hi crews,

as already volunteered I'd like to maintain indeo3 decoder in the
future. Unfortunately the ffmpeg's decoder is unmaintable (Mike, sorry!)
because nobody understands how it works. Therefore I want to submit a
patch proposing a new source for this algorithm. Below its advantages in
short:

- deobfuscated algorithm
- heavily commented source
- decoding tables will be generated dynamically making "indeo3data.h"
tiny compared to the existing one!
- one huge code blob was splitted into several functions

Disadvantages:

- it was written fast therefore it contains several simplifications can
be programmed safer
- may be further splitted
- it was not tested on PPC yet

There is already a documentation for this algorithm here: http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Indeo_3

Attached files are the sources itself because the new sources are VERY different from the existing ones!

Plz be merciful to me and help me out to make this stuff good-looking!
Waiting for reviews...
