+/* Bitstream description
+ * The picture is divided into blocks that are zlib-compressed.
+ *
+ * The decoder is fed complete frames, the frameheader contains:
+ * 4bits of block width
+ * 12bits of frame width
+ * 4bits of block height
+ * 12bits of frame height
+ *
+ * Directly after the header are the compressed blocks. The blocks
+ * have their compressed size represented with 16bits in the beginig.
+ * If the size = 0 then the block is unchanged from the previous frame.
+ * All blocks are decompressed until the buffer is consumed.
+ *
+ * Encoding ideas, a basic encoder would just use a fixed block size.
+ * Block sizes can be multipels of 16, from 16 to 256. The blocks don't
+ * have to be quadratic. A brute force search with a set of different
+ * block sizes should give a better result than to just use a fixed size.
+ */
+
+/* TODO:
+ * Don't reencode the frame in brute force mode if the frame is a dupe. Speed up.
+ * Make the difference check faster.
