I agree totally. FFH264 is not up to par nether regarding quality nor 
size. The only reason for this exercise was licensing. If the feeling is 
that FFH264 will never become part of FFmpeg, then we will keep it as a 
separate patch.

This is the original code implemented by University of Hasselt in 
2006-2007. Most of the available patches were either broken or generated 
void H.264 streams. By interdiffing we were able to figure out what they 
were trying to achieve. (Tip to myself: rather start from scratch than 
taking up on crappy code)

We will try to go trough Jason's comments and see what we can correct/fix.

We will at some point replace the rtp packetiser for FFmpeg's own.
