Jpeg format has always been tossed about as something POV-Ray should have (not
by any developers I suppose though?) but it always comes down to the fact it
is such a lossy file format it gets passed by.
I think you're safe to say that anything it outputs it reads as well. People
have also talked plenty about a Mpeg or Avi output for the Windows platform
(among others too I guess). Same subject comes up though about doing a
lengthy hard-working rendering of frames only to end up with a possible
problem dealing with compressed images and no way to get back to original
uncompressed images.
Call it fool-proofing if you will :-)
Happy to hear you are getting to where you're going there.
