What are some good resources to learn about implementing a video encoder/decoder from scratch?

The creator of lz4 is blogging constantly on compression algorithms, maybe you could start with this as it is a lot easier to understand.
I'm guessing you are referring to:

How much math are you comfortable with? Codecs are about packing the most information into the smallest energy, which is a bit of a task.
I'm currently refreshing on math topics because of that, I do not mind very technical resources.
I find there is not a lot of information online regarding low-level details of video codecs, having any resources is greatly appreciated.
