Iam not sure someone else has already replied
but if you (or someone else) is looking for suggestions there are many

some ideas that come to my mind
as you mention encoder.
a current example would be the FFv1 encoder
there are for example 3 different ways to code LSBs. These are in
3 patches on this mailing list. These could be compared in terms of
speed and compression. Though likely each patch would only apply
cleanly to a git checkout from around that time.

If you are interrested in this, i can look at and provide exact
links to the patches

thx
