Naveen, while this function resembles our BitstreamPutBits()
function, it was most certainly NOT downloaded from the Xvid.org
website or source code repository.

There is no documention for the PutBits function. The porpose
of the PutBits function is to append bits to buffer IAW with the
multi-byte ordering rules defined in ISO/IEC 14496-2. To find
out "how it works" you need to read and workthrough code.

If you have specific questions, I am more than willing to answer
them.
