- There is a different color model. Luminance (Y) and two dimensional color
- (Cr and Cb). I'm only guessing this is similar to YIQ in NTSC video. It
- is based on the same chrominance theories, so it should be at least rather
- close. Also, the blocking is a bit different for color to gain more
- compression.

- I'll be rewriting my article with the new information.
