  Take into account that cmpeg doesn't take the frames in order. You would
have to create as many frames as cmpeg needs for the next frame before
you can call it.
  And you definitely can't make povray to create the frames in the order
cmpeg needs them (ie. by making the clock to jump back and forth) because
that will surely break some scenes (this happens when the result of the
previous frame is written to disk and then read in the next frame).
