No, seriously -- you need to read up a little bit a good
description of Vector Quantization.

Remember that you replace *an entire vector* by an index
in the codebook.  Notice also that Vladimir did mention
that you split the vectors into several components (I
also suggested that earlier in the thread -- didn't your
newsreader show my previous reply?).

That is, if you have a 30-dimensional vector, then you
can split it into three vectors, 10-dimensional each;
now, you can use a codebook of, say, 8 bits, to encode
each of the three vectors.  The result is that you're
using a total of 24-bits to encode each 30-dimensional
vector.

If the above does not clarify, then *really* you need to
hit the books first, to get a general idea of the technique,
and then we can give you a hand with any specific doubts
you may have.

HTH,

If you don't have enough time to go to library, you may want to refer 
the following paper:

Vector quantization Gray, R.; ASSP Magazine, IEEE [see also IEEE Signal 
Processing Magazine] Volume 1,  Issue 2,  Part 1,  Apr 1984 Page(s):4 - 29

Sorry if it was already mentioned.
