I'm a new user and I have just understand the concept of the animation in
POVray. I opened the example animation file in the POVray programme, with
the ini file, and I can see the ball moving. But until now I cannot see
anything that is in mpeg or avi file to browse the movies. Would you please
teach me about how to make animation in mpeg file?

sorry for my poor english.

Povray will not output the final animation file, it just creates a series of
still images, much like the individual images on a strip of cine-film.

You will need to use a 3rd-party tool to combine these still-images into an
animation. Check http://www.povray.org/resources/links/3D_Animation_Utilities/
for a list of suitable resources (AVI Creator looks like the sort of thing you
need - http://www.bloodshed.net/avi.html ).
