 * \section intro Introduction
 *
 * This is the documentation for <tt>libtheora</tt> C API.
 * The current reference
 * implementation for <a href="http://www.theora.org/">Theora</a>, a free,
 * patent-unencumbered video codec.
 * Theora is derived from On2's VP3 codec with additional features and
 *  integration with Ogg multimedia formats by
 *  <a href="http://www.xiph.org/">the Xiph.Org Foundation</a>.
 * Complete documentation of the format itself is available in
 * <a href="http://www.theora.org/doc/Theora.pdf">the Theora
 *  specification</a>.
 *
 * \subsection Organization
 *
 * The functions documented here are actually subdivided into three 
 * separate libraries:
 * - <tt>libtheoraenc</tt> contains the encoder interface,
 *   described in \ref encfuncs.
 * - <tt>libtheoradec</tt> contains the decoder interface and
 *   routines shared with the encoder.
 *   You must also link to this if you link to <tt>libtheoraenc</tt>.
 *   The routines in this library are described in \ref decfuncs and 
 *   \ref basefuncs.
 * - <tt>libtheora</tt> contains the \ref oldfuncs.
 *
 * New code should link to <tt>libtheoradec</tt> and, if using encoder
 * features, <tt>libtheoraenc</tt>. Together these two export both
 * the standard and the legacy API, so this is all that is needed by
 * any code. The older <tt>libtheora</tt> library is provided just for
 * compatibility with older build configurations.
 *
 * In general the recommended 1.x API symbols can be distinguished
 * by their <tt>th_</tt> or <tt>TH_</tt> namespace prefix.
 * The older, legacy API uses <tt>theora_</tt> or <tt>OC_</tt>
 * prefixes instead.

 *
 * Encoded Theora frames must be a multiple of 16 in size;

 * To handle arbitrary picture sizes, a crop rectangle is specified in the
 *  #pic_x, #pic_y, #pic_width and #pic_height members.
 *
 * All frame buffers contain pointers to the full, padded frame.
 * However, the current encoder <em>will not</em> reference pixels outside of
 *  the cropped picture region, and the application does not need to fill them
 *  in.
 * The decoder <em>will</em> allocate storage for a full frame, but the
 *  application <em>should not</em> rely on the padding containing sensible

 *
 * It is also generally recommended that the offsets and sizes should still be

/**A complete set of quantization parameters.
   The quantizer for each coefficient is calculated as:
   \code
    Q=MAX(MIN(qmin[qti][ci!=0],scale[ci!=0][qi]*base[qti][pli][qi][ci]/100),
     1024).
   \endcode

   \a qti is the quantization type index: 0 for intra, 1 for inter.
   <tt>ci!=0</tt> is 0 for the DC coefficient and 1 for AC coefficients.
   \a qi is the quality index, ranging between 0 (low quality) and 63 (high
    quality).
   \a pli is the color plane index: 0 for Y', 1 for Cb, 2 for Cr.
   \a ci is the DCT coefficient index.
   Coefficient indices correspond to the normal 2D DCT block
    ordering--row-major with low frequencies first--\em not zig-zag order.

   Minimum quantizers are constant, and are given by:
   \code
   qmin[2][2]={{4,2},{8,4}}.
   \endcode

   Parameters that can be stored in the bitstream are as follows:
    - The two scale matrices ac_scale and dc_scale.
      \code
      scale[2][64]={dc_scale,ac_scale}.
      \endcode
    - The base matrices for each \a qi, \a qti and \a pli (up to 384 in all).
      In order to avoid storing a full 384 base matrices, only a sparse set of
       matrices are stored, and the rest are linearly interpolated.
      This is done as follows.
      For each \a qti and \a pli, a series of \a n \a qi ranges is defined.
      The size of each \a qi range can vary arbitrarily, but they must sum to
       63.
      Then, <tt>n+1</tt> matrices are specified, one for each endpoint of the
       ranges.
      For interpolation purposes, each range's endpoints are the first \a qi
       value it contains and one past the last \a qi value it contains.
      Fractional values are rounded to the nearest integer, with ties rounded
       away from zero.

      Base matrices are stored by reference, so if the same matrices are used
       multiple times, they will only appear once in the bitstream.
      The bitstream is also capable of omitting an entire set of ranges and
       its associated matrices if they are the same as either the previous
       set (indexed in row-major order) or if the inter set is the same as the
       intra set.

    - Loop filter limit values.
      The same limits are used for the loop filter in all color planes, despite
       potentially differing levels of quantization in each.

   For the current encoder, <tt>scale[ci!=0][qi]</tt> must be no greater
    than <tt>scale[ci!=0][qi-1]</tt> and <tt>base[qti][pli][qi][ci]</tt> must
    be no greater than <tt>base[qti][pli][qi-1][ci]</tt>.
   These two conditions ensure that the actual quantizer for a given \a qti,
    \a pli, and \a ci does not increase as \a qi increases.
   This is not required by the decoder.*/
