Introduction
Audio and Video codecs (coder/decoder) have always attracted research activity from academia and the industry. These activities are driven by simple economics: better compression means smaller storage and less bandwidth; technical breakthroughs in encoding techniques are enablers of new applications that in turn push new products into the hands of consumers. For the foreseeable future, moving pictures or Video will always have a significant place in personal entertainment devices - at all layers through the product chain. Furthermore, the major electronics companies will continue to invest in these products and the R&D required to create new pro
