+
+## Build and Development
+
+### Building Applications
+
+Use the build scripts in `buildapp/`:
+- `build_app_linux_x86.sh` - Linux x86_64 AppImage
+- `build_app_linux_arm.sh` - Linux ARM64 AppImage  
+- `build_app_mac_x86.sh` - macOS Intel
+- `build_app_mac_arm.sh` - macOS Apple Silicon
+- `build_app_windows_x86.sh` - Windows x86
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. Download JDK 17 runtimes to `~/Documents/openjdk/*` with specific naming:
+   - `jdk-17.0.1-x86` (Linux AMD64)
+   - `jdk-17.0.1-arm` (Linux Aarch64) 
+   - `jdk-17.0.1-windows` (Windows AMD64)
+   - `jdk-17.0.1.jdk-arm` (macOS Apple Silicon)
+   - `jdk-17.0.1.jdk-x86` (macOS Intel)
+
+2. Run `jlink` commands to create custom Java runtimes in `out/runtime-*` directories
+
+### Development Commands
+
+- **Build JAR**: Use IntelliJ IDEA build system to compile modules
+- **Run Emulator**: Execute `TsvmEmulator.java` main method or use built JAR
+- **Run TerranBASIC**: Execute `TerranBASIC.java` main method
+- **Package Apps**: Run appropriate build script from `buildapp/` directory
+
+### Assets and File System
+
+- `assets/disk0/`: Virtual disk content including TVDOS system files
+- `assets/bios/`: BIOS ROM files and implementations
+- `My_BASIC_Programs/`: Example BASIC programs for testing
+- TVDOS filesystem uses custom format with specialised drivers
+
+## Videotron2K
+
+The Videotron2K is a specialised video display controller with:
+- Assembly-like programming language
+- 6 general registers (r1-r6) and special registers (tmr, frm, px, py, c1-c6)
+- Scene-based programming model
+- Drawing commands (plot, fillin, goto, fillscr)
+- Conditional execution with postfixes (zr, nz, gt, ls, ge, le)
+
+Programs are structured with SCENE blocks and executed with perform commands.
+
+## Memory Management
+
+- VM supports up to USER_SPACE_SIZE memory
+- 64-byte malloc units with reserved blocks
+- Peripheral slots (1-8 configurable)
+- Memory-mapped I/O for peripheral access
+- JavaScript programs run in sandboxed GraalVM context
+
+### Peripheral Memory Addressing
+
+Peripheral memories can be accessed using `vm.peek()` and `vm.poke()` functions, which takes absolute address.
+
+- Peripherals take up negative number of the memory space, and their addressing is in backwards (e.g. Slot 1 starts at -1048577 and ends at -2097152)
+- Peripherals take up two memory regions: MMIO area and Memory Space area; MMIO is accessed by PeriBase (and its children) using `mmio_read()` and `mmio_write()`, and the Memory Space is accessed using `peek()` and `poke()`.
+  - Peripheral at slot *n* takes following addresses
+    1. MMIO area (-131072×n)-1 to -131072×(n+1)
+    2. Memory Space area -(1048576×n)-1 to (-1048576×(n+1))
+
+## Testing
+
+- Use example programs in `My_BASIC_Programs/` for BASIC testing
+- JavaScript test programs available in `assets/disk0/`
+- Videotron2K assembly examples in documentation
+
+## Notes
+
+- The 'gzip' namespace in TSVM's JS programs is a misnomer: the actual 'gzip' functions (defined in CompressorDelegate.kt) call Zstd functions.
+
+## TVDOS
+
+### TVDOS Movie Formats
+
+#### Legacy iPF Format
+- Format documentation on `terranmon.txt` (search for "TSVM MOV file format" and "TSVM Interchangeable Picture Format (aka iPF Type 1/2)")
+- Video Encoder implementation on `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/encodemov.js` (iPF Format 1 and 2) and `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/encodemov2.js` (iPF Format 1-delta)
+  - Actual encoding/decoding code is in `GraphicsJSR223Delegate.kt`
+- Audio uses standard MP2
+
+#### TEV Format (TSVM Enhanced Video)
+- **Modern video codec** optimized for TSVM hardware with 60-80% better compression than iPF
+- **C Encoder**: `video_encoder/encoder_tev.c` - Hardware-accelerated encoder with motion compensation and DCT
+  - How to build: `make clean && make`
+  - **Rate Control**: Supports both quality mode (`-q 0-4`) and bitrate mode (`-b N` kbps)
+- **JS Decoder**: `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/playtev.js` - Native decoder for TEV format playback
+  - How to build: `must be done manually by the user; the TSVM is not machine-interactable`
+- **Hardware accelerated decoding**: Extended GraphicsJSR223Delegate.kt with TEV functions:
+  - `tevDecode()` - The main decoding function (now accepts rate control factor)
+  - `tevIdct8x8()` - Fast 8×8 DCT transforms
+  - `tevMotionCopy8x8()` - Sub-pixel motion compensation
+- **Features**:
+  - 16×16 DCT blocks (vs 4×4 in iPF) for better compression
+  - Motion compensation with ±8 pixel search range
+  - YCoCg-R 4:2:0 Chroma subsampling (more aggressive quantisation on Cg channel)
+  - Full 8-Bit RGB colour for increased visual fidelity, rendered down to TSVM-compliant 4-Bit RGB with dithering upon playback
+- **Usage Examples**:
+  ```bash
+  # Quality mode
+  ./encoder_tev -i input.mp4 -o output.tev -q 3
+
+  # Playback
+  playtev output.tev
+  ```
+- **Format documentation**: `terranmon.txt` (search for "TSVM Enhanced Video (TEV) Format")
+- **Version**: 2.1 (includes rate control factor in all video packets)
+
+#### TAV Format (TSVM Advanced Video)
+- **Successor to TEV**: DWT-based video codec using wavelet transforms instead of DCT
+- **C Encoder**: `video_encoder/encoder_tav.c` - Multi-wavelet encoder with perceptual quantisation
+  - How to build: `make tav`
+  - **Wavelet Support**: Multiple wavelet types for different compression characteristics
+- **JS Decoder**: `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/playtav.js` - Native decoder for TAV format playback
+- **Hardware accelerated decoding**: Extended GraphicsJSR223Delegate.kt with TAV functions
+- **Packet analyser**: `video_encoder/tav_inspector.c` - Debugging tool that parses TAV packets into human-readable form
+- **Features**:
+  - **Multiple Wavelet Types**: 5/3 reversible, 9/7 irreversible, CDF 13/7, DD-4, Haar
+  - **Single-tile encoding**: One large DWT tile for optimal quality (no blocking artifacts)
+  - **Perceptual quantisation**: HVS-optimized coefficient scaling
+  - **YCoCg-R colour space**: Efficient chroma representation with "simulated" subsampling using anisotropic quantisation (search for "ANISOTROPY_MULT_CHROMA" on the encoder)
+  - **6-level DWT decomposition**: Deep frequency analysis for better compression (deeper levels possible but 6 is the maximum for the default TSVM size)
+  - **Significance Map Compression**: Improved coefficient storage format exploiting sparsity for 16-18% additional compression (2025-09-29 update)
+  - **Concatenated Maps Layout**: Cross-channel compression optimisation for additional 1.6% improvement (2025-09-29 enhanced)
+- **Usage Examples**:
+  ```bash
+  # Different wavelets
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -w 0 -o output.tav    # 5/3 reversible (lossless capable)
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -w 1 -o output.tav    # 9/7 irreversible (default, best compression)
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -w 2 -o output.tav    # CDF 13/7 (experimental)
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -w 16 -o output.tav   # DD-4 (four-point interpolating)
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -w 255 -o output.tav  # Haar (demonstration)
+
+  # Quality levels (0-5)
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -q 0 -o output.tav         # Lowest quality, smallest file
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -q 5 -o output.tav         # Highest quality, largest file
+
+  # Temporal 3D DWT (GOP-based encoding)
+  ./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 --temporal-dwt -o output.tav
+
+  # Playback
+  playtav output.tav
+  ```
+
+**CRITICAL IMPLEMENTATION NOTES**:
+
+**Wavelet Coefficient Layout**:
+- TAV uses **2D Spatial Layout** in memory: `[LL, LH, HL, HH, LH, HL, HH, ...]` for each decomposition level
+- **Forward transform must output**: `temp[0...half-1] = low-pass`, `temp[half...length-1] = high-pass`
+- **Inverse transform must expect**: Same 2D spatial layout and exactly reverse forward operations
+- **Common mistake**: Assuming linear layout leads to grid/checkerboard artifacts
+
+**Wavelet Implementation Pattern**:
+- All wavelets must follow the **exact same structure** as the working 5/3 implementation:
+  ```c
+  // Forward: 1. Predict step, 2. Update step
+  temp[half + i] = data[odd_index] - prediction;  // High-pass
+  temp[i] = data[even_index] + update;            // Low-pass
+
+  // Inverse: Reverse order - 1. Undo update, 2. Undo predict
+  temp[i] -= update;                              // Undo low-pass update
+  temp[half + i] += prediction;                   // Undo high-pass predict
+  ```
+- **Boundary handling**: Use symmetric extension for filter taps beyond array bounds
+- **Reconstruction**: Interleave even/odd samples: `data[2*i] = low[i], data[2*i+1] = high[i]`
+
+**Debugging Grid Artifacts**:
+- **Symptom**: Checkerboard or grid patterns in decoded video
+- **Cause**: Mismatch between encoder/decoder coefficient layout or lifting step operations
+- **Solution**: Ensure forward and inverse transforms use identical coefficient indexing and reverse operations exactly
+
+**Supported Wavelets**:
+- **0**: 5/3 reversible (lossless when unquantised, JPEG 2000 standard)
+- **1**: 9/7 irreversible (best compression, CDF 9/7 variant, default choice)
+- **2**: CDF 13/7 (experimental, simplified implementation)
+- **16**: DD-4 (four-point interpolating Deslauriers-Dubuc, for still images)
+- **255**: Haar (demonstration only, simplest possible wavelet)
+
+- **Format documentation**: `terranmon.txt` (search for "TSVM Advanced Video (TAV) Format")
+- **Version**: Current (perceptual quantisation, multi-wavelet support, EZBC compression)
+
+#### TAV Temporal 3D DWT (GOP Unified Encoding)
+
+Implemented on 2025-10-15 for improved temporal compression through group-of-pictures (GOP) encoding:
+
+**Key Features**:
+- **3D DWT**: Applies DWT in both spatial (2D) and temporal (1D) dimensions for optimal spacetime compression
+- **Unified GOP Preprocessing**: Single EZBC tree for all frames and channels in a GOP (width×height×N_frames×3_channels)
+- **GOP Size**: Typically 8 frames (configurable), with scene change detection for adaptive GOPs
+- **Single-frame Fallback**: GOP size of 1 automatically uses traditional I-frame encoding
+
+**Packet Format**:
+- **0x12 (GOP_UNIFIED)**: `[gop_size][compressed_size][compressed_data]`
+- **0xFC (GOP_SYNC)**: `[frame_count]` - Indicates N frames were decoded from GOP block
+- **Timecode Emission**: One timecode packet per GOP (not per frame)
+
+**Technical Implementation**:
+```c
+// Unified preprocessing structure (encoder_tav.c:2371-2509)
+[All_Y_maps][All_Co_maps][All_Cg_maps][All_Y_values][All_Co_values][All_Cg_values]
+// Where maps are grouped by channel across all GOP frames for optimal Zstd compression
+```
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Enable temporal 3D DWT
+./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 --temporal-dwt -o output.tav
+
+# Inspect GOP structure
+./tav_inspector output.tav -v
+```
+
+**Compression Benefits**:
+- **Temporal Coherence**: Exploits similarity across consecutive frames
+- **Unified Compression**: Zstd compresses entire GOP as single block, finding patterns across time
+- **Adaptive GOPs**: Scene change detection ensures optimal GOP boundaries
+
+#### TAD Format (TSVM Advanced Audio)
+- **Perceptual audio codec** for TSVM using CDF 9/7 biorthogonal wavelets
+- **C Encoder**: `video_encoder/encoder_tad.c` - Core Encoder library; `video_encoder/encoder_tad_standalone.c` - Standalone encoder with FFmpeg integration
+  - How to build: `make tad`
+  - **Quality Levels**: 0-5 (0=lowest quality/smallest, 5=highest quality/largest; designed to be in sync with TAV encoder)
+- **C Decoders**:
+  - `video_encoder/decoder_tad.c` - Shared decoder library with `tad32_decode_chunk()` function
+  - `video_encoder/decoder_tad.h` - Exports shared decoder API
+  - `video_encoder/decoder_tav.c` - TAV decoder that uses shared TAD decoder for audio packets
+  - **Shared Architecture** (Fixed 2025-11-10): Both standalone TAD and TAV decoders now use the same `tad32_decode_chunk()` implementation, eliminating code duplication and ensuring identical output
+- **Kotlin Decoder**: `AudioAdapter.kt` - Hardware-accelerated TAD decoder for TSVM runtime
+  - **Quantisation Fix** (2025-11-10): Fixed BASE_QUANTISER_WEIGHTS to use channel-specific 2D array (Mid/Side) instead of single 1D array, resolving severe audio distortion
+- **Features**:
+  - **32 KHz stereo**: TSVM audio hardware native format
+  - **Variable chunk sizes**: Any size ≥1024 samples, including non-power-of-2 (e.g., 32016 for TAV 1-second GOPs)
+  - **Pre-emphasis filter**: First-order IIR filter (α=0.5) shifts quantisation noise to lower frequencies
+  - **Gamma compression**: Dynamic range compression (γ=0.5) before quantisation
+  - **M/S stereo decorrelation**: Exploits stereo correlation for better compression
+  - **9-level CDF 9/7 DWT**: Fixed 9 decomposition levels for all chunk sizes
+  - **Perceptual quantisation**: Channel-specific (Mid/Side) frequency-dependent weights with lambda companding (λ=6.0)
+  - **EZBC encoding**: Binary tree embedded zero block coding exploits coefficient sparsity (86.9% Mid, 97.8% Side)
+  - **Zstd compression**: Level 7 on concatenated EZBC bitstreams for additional compression
+  - **Non-power-of-2 support**: Fixed 2025-10-30 to handle arbitrary chunk sizes correctly
+- **Usage Examples**:
+  ```bash
+  # Encode with default quality (Q3)
+  encoder_tad -i input.mp4 -o output.tad
+
+  # Encode with highest quality
+  encoder_tad -i input.mp4 -o output.tad -q 5
+
+  # Encode without Zstd compression
+  encoder_tad -i input.mp4 -o output.tad --no-zstd
+
+  # Verbose output with statistics
+  encoder_tad -i input.mp4 -o output.tad -v
+
+  # Decode back to PCM16
+  decoder_tad -i input.tad -o output.pcm
+  ```
+- **Format documentation**: `terranmon.txt` (search for "TSVM Advanced Audio (TAD) Format")
+- **Version**: 1.1 (EZBC encoding with non-power-of-2 support, updated 2025-10-30; decoder architecture and Kotlin quantisation weights fixed 2025-11-10; documentation updated 2025-11-10 to reflect pre-emphasis and EZBC)
+
+**TAD Encoding Pipeline**:
+1. **Pre-emphasis filter** (α=0.5) - Shifts quantisation noise toward lower frequencies
+2. **Gamma compression** (γ=0.5) - Dynamic range compression
+3. **M/S decorrelation** - Transforms L/R to Mid/Side
+4. **9-level CDF 9/7 DWT** - Wavelet decomposition (fixed 9 levels)
+5. **Perceptual quantisation** - Lambda companding (λ=6.0) with channel-specific weights
+6. **EZBC encoding** - Binary tree embedded zero block coding per channel
+7. **Zstd compression** (level 7) - Additional compression on concatenated EZBC bitstreams
+
+**TAD Compression Performance**:
+- **Target Compression**: 2:1 against PCMu8 baseline (4:1 against PCM16LE input)
+- **Achieved Compression**: 2.51:1 against PCMu8 at quality level 3
+- **Audio Quality**: Preserves full 0-16 KHz bandwidth
+- **Coefficient Sparsity**: 86.9% zeros in Mid channel, 97.8% in Side channel (typical)
+- **EZBC Benefits**: Exploits sparsity, progressive refinement, spatial clustering
+
+**TAD Integration with TAV**:
+TAD is designed as an includable API for TAV video encoder integration. The variable chunk size
+support enables synchronized audio/video encoding where audio chunks can match video GOP boundaries.
+TAV embeds TAD-compressed audio using packet type 0x24 with Zstd compression.
+
+**TAD Hardware Acceleration**:
+TSVM accelerates TAD decoding with AudioAdapter.kt (backend) and AudioJSR223Delegate.kt (API):
+- Backend decoder in AudioAdapter.kt with non-power-of-2 chunk size support (fixed 2025-10-30)
+- API functions in AudioJSR223Delegate.kt for JavaScript access
+- Supports chunk sizes from 1024 to 32768+ samples (any size ≥1024)
+- Fixed 9-level CDF 9/7 inverse DWT with correct length tracking for non-power-of-2 sizes
+
+**Critical Implementation Note (Fixed 2025-10-30)**:
+Multi-level inverse DWT must pre-calculate the exact sequence of lengths from forward transform:
+```kotlin
+val lengths = IntArray(levels + 1)
+lengths[0] = chunk_size
+for (i in 1..levels) {
+    lengths[i] = (lengths[i - 1] + 1) / 2
+}
+// Apply inverse DWT using lengths[level] for each level
+```
+Using simple doubling (`length *= 2`) is incorrect for non-power-of-2 sizes and causes
+mirrored subband artifacts.
+
+**TAD Decoding Pipeline**:
+1. **Zstd decompression** - Decompress concatenated EZBC bitstreams
+2. **EZBC decoding** - Binary tree decoder reconstructs quantised int8 coefficients per channel
+3. **Lambda decompanding** - Inverse Laplacian CDF mapping with channel-specific weights
+4. **9-level inverse CDF 9/7 DWT** - Wavelet reconstruction with proper non-power-of-2 length tracking
+5. **M/S to L/R conversion** - Transform Mid/Side back to Left/Right
+6. **Gamma expansion** (γ⁻¹=2.0) - Restore dynamic range
+7. **De-emphasis filter** (α=0.5) - Reverse pre-emphasis, remove frequency shaping
+8. **PCM32f to PCM8** - Noise-shaped dithering for final 8-bit output
+
+**Critical Quantisation Weights Note (Fixed 2025-11-10)**:
+The TAD decoder MUST use channel-specific quantisation weights for Mid (channel 0) and Side (channel 1) channels. The Kotlin decoder (AudioAdapter.kt) originally used a single 1D weight array, which caused severe audio distortion. The correct implementation uses a 2D array:
+
+```kotlin
+// CORRECT (Fixed 2025-11-10)
+private val BASE_QUANTISER_WEIGHTS = arrayOf(
+    floatArrayOf( // Mid channel (0)
+        4.0f, 2.0f, 1.8f, 1.6f, 1.4f, 1.2f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.3f, 2.0f
+    ),
+    floatArrayOf( // Side channel (1)
+        6.0f, 5.0f, 2.6f, 2.4f, 1.8f, 1.3f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.6f, 3.2f
+    )
+)
+
+// During dequantisation:
+val weight = BASE_QUANTISER_WEIGHTS[channel][sideband] * quantiserScale
+coeffs[i] = normalisedVal * TAD32_COEFF_SCALARS[sideband] * weight
+```
+
+The different weights for Mid and Side channels reflect the perceptual importance of different frequency bands in each channel. Using incorrect weights causes:
+- DC frequency underamplification (using 1.0 instead of 4.0/6.0)
+- Incorrect stereo imaging and extreme side channel distortion
+- Severe frequency response errors that manifest as "clipping-like" distortion

+# TAD - TSVM Advanced Audio Codec
+
+A perceptually-optimised wavelet-based audio codec designed for resource-constrained systems, featuring CDF 9/7 wavelets, EZBC sparse coding, and sophisticated perceptual quantisation.
+
+## Overview
+
+TAD (TSVM Advanced Audio) is a modern audio codec built on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF) 9/7 biorthogonal wavelets. It combines perceptual quantisation, advanced entropy coding, and careful optimisation for resource-constrained systems.
+
+### Key Advantages
+
+- **Perceptual optimisation**: HVS-aware quantisation preserves audio quality where it matters
+- **Efficient sparse coding**: EZBC encoding exploits coefficient sparsity (86.9% zeros in typical content)
+- **Variable chunk sizes**: Supports any chunk size ≥1024 samples, including non-power-of-2
+- **Stereo decorrelation**: Mid/Side encoding exploits stereo correlation for better compression
+- **Hardware-friendly**: Designed for efficient decoding on resource-constrained platforms
+
+## Features
+
+### Compression Technology
+
+- **CDF 9/7 Biorthogonal Wavelets**
+  - 9-level fixed decomposition for all chunk sizes
+  - Lifting scheme implementation for efficient computation
+  - Optimal frequency discrimination for audio signals
+
+- **Pre-processing**
+  - First-order IIR pre-emphasis filter (α=0.5) shifts quantisation noise to lower frequencies, where they are less objectionable to listeners
+  - Gamma companding (γ=0.5) for dynamic range compression before quantisation
+  - Mid/Side stereo transformation exploits stereo correlation
+  - Lambda companding (λ=6.0) with Laplacian CDF mapping for full bit utilisation
+
+- **Perceptual Quantisation**
+  - Channel-specific (Mid/Side) frequency-dependent weights
+  - Subband-aware quantisation preserves perceptually important frequencies
+
+- **EZBC Encoding**
+  - Binary tree embedded zero block coding
+  - Exploits coefficient sparsity (86.9% Mid, 97.8% Side typical)
+  - Progressive refinement structure
+  - Spatial clustering of non-zero coefficients
+
+- **Entropy Coding**
+  - Zstandard compression (level 7) on concatenated EZBC bitstreams
+  - Cross-channel compression optimisation
+  - Optional Zstd bypass for debugging
+
+### Audio Format
+
+- **Sample Rate**: 32 KHz (TSVM audio hardware native format)
+- **Channels**: Stereo (L/R input, Mid/Side internal representation)
+- **Chunk Sizes**: Variable, any size ≥1024 samples (including non-power-of-2)
+- **Bit Depth**: 32-bit float internal, 8-bit unsigned PCM output with noise-shaped dithering
+- **Bandwidth**: Full 0-16 KHz frequency range preserved
+
+### Quality Levels
+
+Six quality levels (0-5) provide a wide range of compression/quality trade-offs:
+- **Level 0**: Lowest quality, smallest file size
+- **Level 3**: Default, balanced quality/compression (2.51:1 vs PCMu8)
+- **Level 5**: Highest quality, largest file size
+
+Quality levels are designed to be synchronised with TAV video codec for unified encoding.
+

+
+### Wavelet Implementation
+
+CDF 9/7 wavelet follows a **two-stage lifting scheme**:
+
+```c
+// Forward Transform: Predict → Update
+// Predict step (generate high-pass)
+temp[half + i] = data[odd] - α * (data[even_left] + data[even_right]);
+
+// Update step (generate low-pass)
+temp[i] = data[even] + β * (temp[half + i - 1] + temp[half + i]);
+
+// Normalization (K factor)
+temp[i] *= K;
+temp[half + i] /= K;
+
+// Inverse Transform: Denormalize → Undo Update → Undo Predict (reversed order)
+temp[i] /= K;
+temp[half + i] *= K;
+
+temp[i] -= β * (temp[half + i - 1] + temp[half + i]);
+data[odd] = temp[half + i] + α * (temp[i] + temp[i + 1]);
+data[even] = temp[i];
+```
+
+**CDF 9/7 Coefficients**:
+- α = -1.586134342
+- β = -0.052980118
+- γ = +0.882911075
+- δ = +0.443506852
+- K = 1.230174105
+
+### Non-Power-of-2 Chunk Size Handling
+
+Critical implementation detail for variable chunk sizes:
+
+```c
+// Pre-calculate exact length sequence from forward transform
+int lengths[MAX_LEVELS + 1];
+lengths[0] = chunk_size;
+for (int i = 1; i <= levels; i++) {
+    lengths[i] = (lengths[i - 1] + 1) / 2;
+}
+
+// Apply inverse DWT using lengths[level] for each level
+// NEVER use simple doubling (length *= 2) - incorrect for non-power-of-2!
+```
+
+Incorrect length tracking causes mirrored subband artefacts in decoded audio.
+
+### Perceptual Quantisation Weights
+
+Channel-specific weights for Mid (channel 0) and Side (channel 1):
+
+```c
+// Base quantiser weights per subband (9 levels + approximation)
+float BASE_QUANTISER_WEIGHTS[2][10] = {
+    // Mid channel (0)
+    {4.0f, 2.0f, 1.8f, 1.6f, 1.4f, 1.2f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.3f, 2.0f},
+
+    // Side channel (1)
+    {6.0f, 5.0f, 2.6f, 2.4f, 1.8f, 1.3f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.6f, 3.2f}
+};
+
+// During dequantisation:
+float weight = BASE_QUANTISER_WEIGHTS[channel][subband] * quantiser_scale;
+coeffs[i] = normalised_val * TAD32_COEFF_SCALARS[subband] * weight;
+```
+
+Different weights for Mid and Side channels reflect perceptual importance of frequency bands in each channel. DC frequency has highest weight (4.0 Mid, 6.0 Side) due to energy concentration.
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Compression Efficiency
+
+- **Target Compression**: 2:1 against PCMu8 baseline (4:1 against PCM16LE input)
+- **Achieved Compression**: 2.51:1 against PCMu8 at quality level 3

+- **Coefficient Sparsity**: 86.9% zeros in Mid channel, 97.8% in Side channel (typical)
+- **EZBC Benefits**: Exploits sparsity, progressive refinement, spatial clustering
+
+### Computational Complexity
+
+- **Encoding**: O(n log n) per chunk for DWT, O(n) for EZBC encoding

+Encoding requires FFmpeg executable installed in your system.
+
+```bash
+# Default encoding (CDF 9/7 wavelet, quality level 3)
+./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -o output.tav
+
+# Quality levels (0-5)

+./decoder_tav -i input.tav -o output.mkv
+
+# Inspect packet structure (debugging)

+```
+
+### Frame Limiting
+
+```bash
+# Encode only first N frames (useful for testing)
+./encoder_tav -i input.mp4 -o output.tav --encode-limit 100
+```
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+### Encoder Pipeline
+
+1. **Input Processing**
+   - FFmpeg demuxing and frame extraction
+   - RGB to YCoCg-R colour space conversion
+   - Resolution validation and padding
+
+2. **DWT Transform**
+   - Spatial: 6-level decomposition per frame
+   - Temporal: 1D DWT across GOP frames (3D DWT mode)
+   - Lifting scheme implementation for all wavelets
+
+3. **Perceptual Quantisation**
+   - HVS-based subband weights
+   - Anisotropic chroma quantisation (YCoCg-R specific)
+   - Quality-dependent quantisation matrices
+
+4. **EZBC Encoding**

+   - Progressive refinement by bitplanes
+   - Concatenated bitstream layout: `[Y_bitstream][Co_bitstream][Cg_bitstream]`
+   - Cross-channel compression optimisation
+   
+5. **Entropy Coding**
+   - Zstandard compression (level 7) on concatenated EZBC bitstreams
+   - Cross-channel compression opportunities
+   - Adaptive compression based on GOP structure
+
+### Decoder Pipeline
+
+1. **Container Parsing**

+   - Timecode synchronisation
+   - GOP boundary detection
+
+2. **Entropy Decoding**

+   - EZBC binary tree decoding per channel
+   - Progressive coefficient reconstruction
+
+3. **Inverse Quantisation**
+   - Perceptual weight application

+
+5. **Output Conversion**
+   - YCoCg-R to RGB colour space
+   - Clamping and dithering
+   - Frame buffering for display
+
+### Wavelet Implementation
+
+All wavelets follow a **lifting scheme** pattern with symmetric boundary extension:
+
+```c
+// Forward Transform: Predict → Update
+temp[half + i] = data[odd] - predict(data[even]);  // High-pass
+temp[i] = data[even] + update(temp[half]);         // Low-pass
+
+// Inverse Transform: Undo Update → Undo Predict (reversed order)
+data[even] = temp[i] - update(temp[half]);         // Undo low-pass
+data[odd] = temp[half + i] + predict(data[even]);  // Undo high-pass
+```
+
+**Critical**: Forward and inverse transforms must use identical coefficient indexing and exactly reverse operations to avoid grid artefacts.
+
+### Coefficient Layout
+
+TAV uses **2D Spatial Layout** in memory for each decomposition level:
+
+```
+[LL] [LH] [HL] [HH] [LH] [HL] [HH] ...
+ └── Level 0 ──┘ └─── Level 1 ───┘
+```
+
+- `LL`: Low-pass (approximation) - progressively smaller with each level
+- `LH`, `HL`, `HH`: High-pass subbands (horizontal, vertical, diagonal detail)
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Compression Efficiency
+
+- **Sparsity Exploitation**: Typical quantised coefficient sparsity
+  - Y channel: 86.9% zeros
+  - Co channel: 97.8% zeros
+  - Cg channel: 99.5% zeros
+
+- **EZBC Benefits**: 16-18% compression improvement over naive coefficient encoding through sparsity exploitation
+
+- **Temporal Coherence**: Additional 15-25% improvement with 3D DWT (content-dependent)
+
+### Computational Complexity
+
+- **Encoding**: O(n log n) per frame for spatial DWT
+- **Decoding**: O(n log n) per frame, optimised lifting scheme implementation
+- **Memory**: Single-tile encoding requires O(w × h) working memory
+
+### Quality Characteristics
+
+- **No blocking artefacts**: Wavelet-based encoding is inherently smooth
+- **Perceptual optimisation**: Better subjective quality than bitrate-equivalent DCT codecs
+- **Scalability**: 6 quality levels (0-5) provide wide range of bitrate/quality trade-offs
+- **Temporal stability**: 3D DWT mode reduces flickering and temporal artefacts
+
+## Format Specification
+
+For complete packet structure and bitstream format details, refer to `format documentation.txt`.
+
+### Key Packet Types
+
+- `0x00`: Metadata and initialisation
+- `0x01`: I-frame (intra-coded frame)
+- `0x12`: GOP unified packet (3D DWT mode)

+encoder_tav_text.c
+Text-based video encoder for TSVM using custom font ROMs
+
+Outputs Videotex files with custom header and packet type 0x3F (text mode)
+
+File structure:
+  - Videotex header (32 bytes): magic "\x1FTSVM-VT", version, grid dims, fps, total_frames
+  - Extended header packet (0xEF): BGNT, ENDT, CDAT, VNDR, FMPG
+  - Font ROM packets (0x30): lowrom and highrom (1920 bytes each)
+  - Per-frame sequence: [audio 0x20], [timecode 0xFD], [videotex 0x3F], [sync 0xFF]
+
+Videotex packet structure (0x3F): Zstd([rows][cols][fg-array][bg-array][char-array])
+  - rows: uint8 (32)
+  - cols: uint8 (80)
+  - fg-array: rows*cols bytes (foreground colors, 0xF0=black, 0xFE=white)
+  - bg-array: rows*cols bytes (background colors, 0xF0=black, 0xFE=white)
+  - char-array: rows*cols bytes (glyph indices 0-255)
+
+Total uncompressed size: 2 + (80*32*3) = 7682 bytes
+Separated arrays compress much better (fg/bg are just 0xF0/0xFE runs)
+Video size: 80×32 characters (560×448 pixels with 7×14 font)
+Audio: MP2 encoding at 96 kbps, 32 KHz stereo (packet 0x20)
+Each text frame is treated as an I-frame with sync packet
+
+Usage:
+  gcc -Ofast -std=c11 -Wall encoder_tav_text.c -o encoder_tav_text -lm -lzstd
+  ./encoder_tav_text -i video.mp4 -f font.chr -o output.mv3

+# libtavenc - TAV Video Encoder Library
+
+**libtavenc** is a high-performance video encoding library implementing the TSVM Advanced Video (TAV) codec. It provides a clean C API for encoding RGB24 video frames using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with perceptual quantization and GOP-based temporal compression.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multiple Wavelet Types**: CDF 5/3, CDF 9/7, CDF 13/7, DD-4, Haar
+- **3D DWT GOP Encoding**: Temporal + spatial wavelet compression
+- **Perceptual Quantization**: HVS-optimized coefficient scaling
+- **EZBC Entropy Coding**: Efficient coefficient compression with Zstd
+- **Multi-threading**: Internal thread pool for optimal performance
+- **Color Spaces**: YCoCg-R (default) and ICtCp (for HDR)
+- **Quality Levels**: 0-5 (0=lowest/smallest, 5=highest/largest)
+
+## Building

+
+## API Reference
+
+### Context Management
+
+#### `tav_encoder_create()`
+Creates encoder context with specified parameters. Allocates internal buffers and initializes thread pool if multi-threading enabled.
+
+**Returns**: Encoder context or NULL on failure
+
+#### `tav_encoder_free()`
+Frees encoder context and all resources. Any unflushed GOP frames are lost.
+
+#### `tav_encoder_get_error()`
+Returns last error message string.
+
+#### `tav_encoder_get_params()`
+Gets encoder parameters with calculated values (e.g., auto-calculated GOP size, decomposition levels).
+
+### Frame Encoding
+
+#### `tav_encoder_encode_frame()`

+**Returns**:
+- `1`: Packet ready (GOP completed)
+- `0`: Frame buffered, waiting for more frames
+- `-1`: Error
+
+#### `tav_encoder_flush()`
+Flushes remaining buffered frames and encodes final GOP. Call at end of stream.
+
+**Returns**:
+- `1`: Packet ready
+- `0`: No more packets
+- `-1`: Error
+
+#### `tav_encoder_encode_gop()`
+Stateless GOP encoding. Thread-safe with separate contexts.
+
+**Parameters**:
+- `rgb_frames`: Array of RGB24 frames `[frame][width×height×3]`
+- `num_frames`: Number of frames in GOP (1-24)
+- `frame_numbers`: Frame indices for timecodes (can be NULL)
+- `packet`: Output packet pointer
+
+**Returns**: `1` on success, `-1` on error
+
+### Packet Management
+
+#### `tav_encoder_free_packet()`
+Frees packet returned by encoding functions.
+
+## Encoder Parameters
+
+### Video Dimensions
+- `width`, `height`: Frame dimensions (must be even)
+- `fps_num`, `fps_den`: Framerate (e.g., 60/1 for 60fps)
+
+### Wavelet Configuration
+- `wavelet_type`: Spatial wavelet
+  - `0`: CDF 5/3 (reversible, lossless-capable)
+  - `1`: CDF 9/7 (default, best compression)
+  - `2`: CDF 13/7 (experimental)
+  - `16`: DD-4 (four-point interpolating)
+  - `255`: Haar (demonstration)
+- `temporal_wavelet`: Temporal wavelet for 3D DWT
+  - `0`: Haar (default for sports/high motion)
+  - `1`: CDF 5/3 (smooth motion)
+- `decomp_levels`: Spatial DWT levels (0=auto, typically 6)
+- `temporal_levels`: Temporal DWT levels (0=auto, typically 2 for 8-frame GOPs)
+
+### Color Space
+- `channel_layout`:
+  - `0`: YCoCg-R (default, efficient chroma)
+  - `1`: ICtCp (for HDR/BT.2100 sources)
+- `perceptual_tuning`: 1=enable HVS perceptual quantization (default), 0=uniform
+
+### GOP Configuration
+- `enable_temporal_dwt`: 1=enable 3D DWT GOP encoding (default), 0=intra-only I-frames
+- `gop_size`: Frames per GOP (8, 16, or 24; 0=auto based on framerate)
+- `enable_two_pass`: 1=enable two-pass with scene change detection (default), 0=single-pass
+
+### Quality Control
+- `quality_y`: Luma quality (0-5, default: 3)
+- `quality_co`: Orange chrominance quality (0-5, default: 3)
+- `quality_cg`: Green chrominance quality (0-5, default: 3)
+- `dead_zone_threshold`: Dead-zone quantization (0=disabled, 1-10 typical)
+
+### Entropy Coding
+- `entropy_coder`:
+  - `0`: Twobitmap (default, fast)
+  - `1`: EZBC (better compression for high-quality)
+- `zstd_level`: Zstd compression level (3-22, default: 7)
+
+### Multi-threading
+- `num_threads`: Worker threads
+  - `0`: Single-threaded (default for CLI)
+  - `-1`: Auto-detect CPU cores
+  - `1-16`: Explicit thread count
+
+### Encoder Presets
+- `encoder_preset`: Preset flags
+  - `0x01`: Sports mode (finer temporal quantization)
+  - `0x02`: Anime mode (disable grain)
+
+## TAV Packet Types
+
+Output packets have type field indicating content:
+
+- `0x10`: I-frame (intra-only, single frame)
+- `0x11`: P-frame (delta from previous)
+- `0x12`: GOP unified (3D DWT, multiple frames)
+- `0x24`: TAD audio (DWT-based audio codec)
+- `0xF0`: Loop point start
+- `0xFC`: GOP sync (frame count marker)
+- `0xFD`: Timecode metadata
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+### Threading Model
+- Library manages internal thread pool when `num_threads > 0`
+- GOP encoding is parallelized across worker threads
+- For CLI tools: use `num_threads=0` (single-threaded) to avoid double-threading with external parallelism
+- For library integration: use `num_threads=-1` or explicit count for optimal performance
+
+### Memory Usage
+- Each encoder context allocates:
+  - GOP buffer: `gop_size × width × height × 3` bytes (RGB frames)
+  - DWT coefficients: `~width × height × 12` bytes per channel
+  - Thread pool: `num_threads × (GOP buffer + workspace)`
+- Typical 1920×1080 encoder with GOP=24: ~180 MB per context
+
+### Encoding Speed
+- Single-threaded: 10-15 fps (1920×1080 on modern CPU)
+- Multi-threaded (4 threads): 30-40 fps
+- GOP size affects latency: larger GOP = higher latency, better compression
+
+## Integration with TAD Audio
+
+TAV files typically include TAD-compressed audio. Link with both libraries:
+
+```c
+#include "tav_encoder_lib.h"
+#include "encoder_tad.h"
+
+// Encode video frame
+tav_encoder_encode_frame(video_ctx, rgb_frame, pts, &video_packet);
+
+// Encode audio chunk (32kHz stereo, float samples)
+tad32_encode_chunk(audio_ctx, pcm_samples, num_samples, &audio_data, &audio_size);
+
+// Mux both into TAV file (interleave by frame PTS)
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All functions return error codes and set error message accessible via `tav_encoder_get_error()`:
+
+```c
+if (tav_encoder_encode_frame(ctx, frame, pts, &packet) < 0) {
+    fprintf(stderr, "Encoding failed: %s\n", tav_encoder_get_error(ctx));
+    // Handle error
+}
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Maximum resolution: 8192×8192
+- GOP size: 1-48 frames
+- Single-tile encoding only (no spatial tiling)
+- Requires even width and height

+/**
+ * EZBC encoding for a single channel.
+ *
+ * Implements binary tree embedded zero block coding for efficient storage
+ * of sparse wavelet coefficients. Exploits coefficient sparsity through
+ * hierarchical significance testing and progressive bitplane encoding.
+ *
+ * Algorithm:
+ * 1. Find MSB bitplane from maximum absolute coefficient value
+ * 2. Write header: MSB bitplane (8 bits), width (16 bits), height (16 bits)
+ * 3. For each bitplane from MSB to 0:
+ *    a. Process insignificant blocks: check if they become significant
+ *       - Emit 0 if still insignificant, 1 if became significant
+ *    b. For newly significant blocks: recursively subdivide until 1x1
+ *       - Emit tree structure: 1=child is significant, 0=child insignificant
+ *    c. Emit sign bits for newly significant 1x1 coefficients (1=negative, 0=positive)
+ *    d. Process already-significant coefficients: emit refinement bits
+ *       - Emit bit at current bitplane for progressive reconstruction
+ * 4. Return encoded bitstream
+ *
+ * Benefits:
+ * - Exploits coefficient sparsity (typical: 86.9% zeros in luma, 97.8% in chroma)
+ * - Progressive refinement from MSB to LSB
+ * - Spatial clustering through quadtree decomposition
+ * - No additional entropy coding needed (bitstream is already compressed)
