MFCC feature extraction

I have a block of audio and I have performed an FFT on it. Now what I want to do is convert this FFT into a set of MFCCs, however while I know I need to do something with weighting the FFT samples ...

Why is Cepstral Coefficients decorrelated?

Why is the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) decorrelated in each frame; as far as I understand, this is because of the step where we take the Discrete cosine transform (DCT) of the log ...

What is the DTW result (applied to the MFCCs of an audio file) proportional to?

I have computed the MFCCs for two audio files and applied the DTW to both sets of coeficients for both files. Now each such pair the two files is described by one single value (computed by the DTW). ...
