Subject: -33- I want to write a program which creates a JPEG-
compressed movie file, but I need to control the
compression quality. How do I do this with the Movie
Library?

Currently, the way to do this is to create a movie file with
all the appropriate image track parameters (see above). But instead
of simply writing frames to the movie and letting the Movie Library
automatically compress the frames for you, you handle the compression
yourself.
To do the compression yourself, you open a Compression Library JPEG
compressor, set the quality factor, and use it to compress each
frame. Then you write the *compressed* data to the movie file
(see above for instructions on how to do this).
