[M4IF Technotes] Question about Quarter-pel Motion Compensation

[Gary Sullivan]

If I recall correctly (there is no guarantee that I do), the
table is reinterpreted so that what was -16 in full-sample luma units
for half-sample luma motion comp (which is -32 in half-sample luma units
for
half-sample luma motion comp) becomes -8 in full-sample luma units for
quarter-sample luma motion comp (which is -32 in quarter-sample units
for quarter-sample luma motion comp).
Best Regards,
Gary
