I can't afford it. i was thinking of a (progressive transmission)
algorithm like embedded zero tree wavelet (EZW) or SPIHT...any

Abbes, it is better to include the attribution lines in your posts.

You need to tell us whether your interest is researching algorithms,
or having a good implementation you can obtain quickly.

You're unlikely to be able to out-research the Xvid developers
all on your own.

And while a bit outdated, you can use LZW compression and the GIF
format since the US and European patents for LZW are expired.
