28 * The VQA video decoder outputs PAL8 or RGB555 colorspace data, depending
29 * on the type of data in the file.
31 * This decoder needs the 42-byte VQHD header from the beginning
32 * of the VQA file passed through the extradata field. The VQHD header
35 * bytes 0-3 chunk fourcc: 'VQHD'
36 * bytes 4-7 chunk size in big-endian format, should be 0x0000002A
37 * bytes 8-49 VQHD chunk data
39 * Bytes 8-49 are what this decoder expects to see.
41 * Briefly, VQA is a vector quantized animation format that operates in a
42 * VGA palettized colorspace. It operates on pixel vectors (blocks)
43 * of either 4x2 or 4x4 in size. Compressed VQA chunks can contain vector
44 * codebooks, palette information, and code maps for rendering vectors onto
45 * frames. Any of these components can also be compressed with a run-length
46 * encoding (RLE) algorithm commonly referred to as "format80".
48 * VQA takes a novel approach to rate control. Each group of n frames
49 * (usually, n = 8) relies on a different vector codebook. Rather than
50 * transporting an entire codebook every 8th frame, the new codebook is
51 * broken up into 8 pieces and sent along with the compressed video chunks
52 * for each of the 8 frames preceding the 8 frames which require the
53 * codebook. A full codebook is also sent on the very first frame of a
54 * file. This is an interesting technique, although it makes random file
55 * seeking difficult despite the fact that the frames are all intracoded.
57 * V1,2 VQA uses 12-bit codebook indexes. If the 12-bit indexes were
58 * packed into bytes and then RLE compressed, bytewise, the results would
59 * be poor. That is why the coding method divides each index into 2 parts,
60 * the top 4 bits and the bottom 8 bits, then RL encodes the 4-bit pieces
61 * together and the 8-bit pieces together. If most of the vectors are
62 * clustered into one group of 256 vectors, most of the 4-bit index pieces
