Howdy,

I'm bemoaning my fate:  I must build a real-time MPEG II codec in about a
year.  Those of you familiar with MPEG II know that the designers went to
great pains to make the encoder as complex and computation intensive as
possible, in order to spare complexity/computation in the decoder.  They
succeeded so well that just the motion estimation section of a real-time
encoder will take 60-100 ASICs (full search).

Naturally I want to explore the alternatives to full search.  Can anybody
refer me to motion estimation algorithms/hardware/theroy that may help?

TIA,
Dave
