	Why not to use the MSSG encoder (www.mpeg.org) ?
	It can produce both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video of high quality
and that truely conform with standards. The Berkeley's MPEG-1 seems
to do a different RGB->YCrCb conversion, and there are often "noise"
pixels in fast moving parts (B pictures), even when encoding with
highest bitrate. The only flaws I see is that it reads PPM, not PNG,
and it can't produce VBR (variable bit rate) MPEG-2. Finally there's
some people who extended the MSSG code for MMX support and some other
goodies availabe on PCs (Linux, Windowz). Visit for instance the
bbMPEG's site (for Win):

	A really recent and *fast* MPEG-1/2 encoder in Japanese
called TMPGEnc, also for Win platforms only :-(

	All are freewares.
