IMO it doesn't make sense to read code like this without a copy of the H.264 spec in hand. And once you've got that spec, why paraphrase a fraction of it, poorly, in the source code?

I do think that comments at the function level indicating which part of the spec you should be reading would be nice. They might not be an issue for people who are indoctrinated into the code though.

// spec 12.3.4.5

would certainly help if you had a spec open.
