Intra frame coding fixed
In a previous post I mentioned that intra frame encoding works, but the reference implementation couldn’t decode my frames yet. Now I fixed this bug, it seemed to be a silly typo, I was using uint8_t instead of int8_t. With this fixed, the reference implementation is capable of decoding the frames encoded by my encoder.
Of course a lot is missing in the encoder. First I will focus on writing the bitstream for the inter frames. So I need motion vectors to write out. First I will just take some random vectors, calculate the residue using these vectors and write both to the bitstream. That way it will become easier to test if writing out this data works, before I start working on Motion Estimation.
