u good coder!

You'll hit 3 partial register stalls in the "end1" section of the code. It'll cripple loop performance on the Pentium II and above processors.
You can remove 1 by using ah on the middle move (it'll save the shift on other processors too).
If you know that the output is big enough to hold 1 extra byte, then you can:
I don't know if that'll be possible though.
Also roticv "mov count2, 0" will probably be faster... "and mem, immed" will need a read-modify-write operation on the memory, while a "mov mem, immed" is a simple write operation.
