VQ combines quantization and entropy coding into one step. It takes a
vector of real valued MDCT coefficients and replaces them with a
integer code word.
MPEG takes each MDCT coefficient, replaces it by an integer (lossy
quantization) , and then uses huffman (lossless) encoding to encode
the vectors of integers.
