Maybe Its worth looking into if the spu can actually decode vlc
efficiently i think.

Idct is a major factor of the decoding but i have seen some other advantages
such as the zigzag

The motion shouldn't be to hard either, but it should be tested and
optimized for all types of motion

using a spu_shuffle to do a zigzag you can complete it in less than 16
cycles . just by looking at it i asume down to 8-12 (when software
pipelined) should be possible on the spu.

Dont know how this compares to other systems tho maybe some of the
experts in this can help out.
