	From some modest experimentation NOT EXHAUSTIVE I find MPEG-1 to be
about the size of the sum of the jpeg versions of the frames regardless
of the format created. I tested that by creating mpegs with the original
and the jpeg converted format. While not exhaustive that should address
the compression issue. I can not find any option in mpeg-1 to control
the compression but I make no claim to expertise in it. 

	As to quality my unconfirmed opinion is:  

	The way mpeg-1 creates interpolated frames suffers horribly when there
are screen-wide slight changes. It pixelates them almost. I posted a
couple such results here but not the stills for comparison. S-U-C-K-S
compared to the stills. 

	However where the image changes rather little I would rate the results
outstanding.
