    Improve motion detection for low complexity regions. · b6c75c5a
    Paul Wilkins authored
    Where there is very subtle motion, especially when combined
    with low spatial complexity, the codec sometimes fails to quickly
    pick up the ambient motion field.
    
    Once it has been established though the field propagates well using
    Nearest and Near MV.
    
    This patch looks specifically at the case where the Nearest and Near
    have not been established as non zero vectors and in this case
    discounts the cost of searching for a new vector in the rd code.
    
    This will almost certainly have some implications in terms of encode
    speed but it should be possible to mitigate the impact in a subsequent
    using first pass stats and the local spatial complexity.
    
    Average results for test sets approximately neutral.
