There are basically two bodies of code in hdot264. 
The first is a VfW codec that can be used by Windows
applications like Virtual Dub.  It may be found in
hdot264/v2.  The second is an excellent C++ framework
for an entirely new codec.  This is openhdot264.

I have been working on hdot264/v2 so I'll give an
overview of its structure.  It uses xvid code for the
VfW API interface and for colorspace conversion. 
Encoding and decoding functions are performed by the
JM reference code with minimal modications (so that
updates to the latest JM code can be made easily). 
There is a small amount of original code to bind it
all together including a generic simple codec API that
sits between the JM code and xvid.  This code (and
hopefully all new hdot264 code) is triple licensed
under GPL/LGPL/MPL for maximum adoption.

hdot264/hdot264/v2/xvidcore  - xvid colorspace code
hdot264/hdot264/v2/vfw       - xvid VfW wrapper
hdot264/hdot264/v2/jm/JM     - current JM73 with
minimum modifications
hdot264/hdot264/v2/hdot264enc_dll - separate DLL for
encoder (because lencod and ldecod use same global
variable and function names).

I'm currently working on making the hdot264 VfW codec
bug free (if very slow).

The next step is to write an optimized decoder based
on the openhdot264 code (with same codec API as used
by the JM-based codec).  We'd start with I-frames only
using the minimum set of H.264 tools (baseline or less
if that's possible).  Can anyone help me by posting an
encoder.cfg file that selects only the most basic
tools?  With this we can generate some AVI files to
work with.
