I don't know of an mpeg writing routine but here is another suggestion.
Write out the individual images as a sequence of images in a well known
graphics format, e.g. tiff (using tiff_write). There are some applications
around (I definitely know that moviemaker on SGI machines is able to do this
but will only output SGI Movie and Quicktime formats) that allow you to
create a movie from such a sequence of images.

Hope something like that is an alternative for you,

Christian
