* @brief This function performs luma & chroma core coding for a set of mb's.
*
* @par Description:
*  The mb to be coded is taken and is evaluated over a predefined set of modes
*  (intra (i16, i4, i8)/inter (mv, skip)) for best cost. The mode with least cost
*  is selected and using intra/inter prediction filters, prediction is carried out.
*  The deviation between src and pred signal constitutes error signal. This error
*  signal is transformed (hierarchical transform if necessary) and quantized. The
*  quantized residue is packed in to entropy buffer for entropy coding. This is
*  repeated for all the mb's enlisted under the job.
*
* @param[in] ps_proc
*  Process context corresponding to the job
*
* @returns  error status
