I need some days to find time to test this, earliest during the weekend I fear...

What happens for
block_length < residual_index < opt_order?

Another way of asking would be, where is the second loop from specs page 30 for that case?
(ISO/IEC 14496)

I think what puzzles CE is, that the problematic if() from the other patches is still untouched by your patch. So how could this be a valid solution even if your patch would actually improve the prediction part...
And I wonder the same ;)

Did you run FATE with your patch applied? I assume a big difference in output at the first glance (means FATE aks the conformance files should fail...)

Thanks for driving this forward anyway :)
