+ * \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.

+ 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.
