1. A method for improving rate distortion performance of a compression system through parallel coefficient cancellation in a transform comprising the steps of:
- (A) determining a block sum of absolute values for each of a plurality of blocks in a macroblock; and
(B) setting one or more coefficient values of a block to zero in response to a block sum value of said block being less than a first predetermined threshold value.
