REASON FOR UPDATE:
Major Changes of the Newly Integrated Version (microsoft-v2.4-030710-NTU)

1. Fix bugs in FGS encoding and decoding of sequence not a multiple of 16x16
2. Fix the displacement of entries in FGS VLC table
3. Several bugs in the FGST encoding process
4. The resync-marker in MV-part is not allowed and shall not be checked and parsed.
5. The preparation of DCT residues for bitplane compression by FGST encoding is wrongly calculated.
6. Fix bugs in interlaced B-VOP encoding: TRB and TRD are not calculated in the previous versions.
7. Fix bugs in FGS decoding: The resync-marker in MV-part is not allowed and should not be checked and parsed.
8. Fix bugs in FGST encoding: The buffer management does not take care about the case of FGST when Scalability.Temporal.PredictionType = 0.
9. Fix bugs in FGST encoding and decoding: The insufficient data allocation when the input sequence is not a multiple of 16.
10. Improve efficiency: Do the necessary padding and zeroing when the input sequence is not a multiple of 16.
11. Add capability to decode the truncated FGS/FGST bitstreams if no continuous FGS-VOPs within one-second interval or more are dropped simultaneously.
12. Add capability to encode and decode the temporal scalable bitstreams which may reference to B-VOPs encoded in the base layer.
