Re: Encoding

Sorry for being unclear

In theory, a single stage that copies and encodes should be more performant 
that a two separate stages (copy then encode). The tradeoff is that single 
stage implementations are more difficult to write and maintain. 

Personally speaking, I would find the single stage easier. But if you can't 
easily understand the algorithm then there's not much hope for anyone else. So 
I don't think it unreasonable to go for a more mature but less performant 
solution in this case. The current implementation is not mature but could be 
fixed. If you prefer the single stage approach, I'll find some time to fix it. 
If not, then that's fine.
