HC-VQA.TXT says about the structure of VPTR chunks - it contains block indices,
every index is actually an entry in codebook, so get index, read BlockW*BlockH*2
bytes from the corresponding place of codebook and copy them to frame.

P.S. Maybe Google will point you to some other VQA players with open source so you
can see how it's done there.
