    Help - 2D DCT in C++

    Haha. You're right, I am kicking myself. Thanks for your advice, I'll move those outside the function call so they should only need calculated once.

    Help - 2D DCT in C++

    I'm currently trying to code a 2D DCT in C++, based on the general equation found here: http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Multimedia/node231.html From what I understand, the function requires an array of 64 shorts containing the luminance values of an 8x8 block (range from 0 to 255). Below is...
