# The Experimental Video Codec

## File format

- magic bytes: `5e b1 c3 08`
- resolution: _`u16, u16`_
- frame count: _`u64`_
- frames (repeated [frame count]-times)
  - block type
  - block
    - **I-Block** (literal contents)
      - pixels: _`[[u8; 3]]`_
    - **Split-Block** (delegated to 2 sub-blocks split on the longest axis)
      - sub-blocks: _`[block; 2]` (see above)_
    - **Reference-Block**

### Todo

- JPEG compress I-Blocks
- Sub-pixel translation
- fade
