I have a question about DCT code in general. Is there enough
commonality between the transforms used in various algorithms to be able
to separate the transforms out into a common library (say, libdct.a)? It
seems to me that a lot of effort goes into optimizing the DCT of various
algorithms for assorted platforms and I wonder if there's a lot of
redundant effort that could be eliminated with such a library, internal to
MPlayer. I don't know nearly enough about the DCT to know one way or
another.
Also, is there any good place to obtain DCT test vectors?
Thanks...
