Transform coefficients coding proceeds in the following stages:
Adaptive scanning of each 4x4 block of transform coefficients to identify the number of non-zero coefficients as a measure of the statistical variance of the block.
Transform coefficients are dynamically partitioned into more significant bits and less significant bits (flexbits). The more significant bits are coded using entropy, or variable length coding (VLC), and the flexbits are coded using adoptive fixed length coding (FLC).
