 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 
-<em>r.out.mpeg</em> is a tool for combining a series of GRASS raster maps
-into a single MPEG-1 (Motion Pictures Expert Group) format file.  MPEG-1 is
-a "lossy" video compression format, so the quality of each resulting frame
-of the animation will be much diminished from the original raster image. 
-The resulting output file may then be viewed using your favorite mpeg-format
-viewing program.
-MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 provide much better quality animations.

+maps into a single MPEG-1

+Pictures Experts Group</a>) format file.  MPEG-1 is a

-<p>The user may define up to four "views", or sub-windows, to animate
-simultaneously.  e.g., View 1 could be rainfall, View 2 flooded areas, View
-3 damage to bridges or levees, View 4 other economic damage, all animated as
-a time series. A black border 2 pixels wide is drawn around each view. There
-is an arbitrary limit of 400 files per view (400 animation frames). 
-Temporary files are created in the conversion process, so lack of adequate
-tmp space could also limit the number of frames you are able to convert.

-<p>The environment variable GMPEG_SIZE is checked for a value to use as the
-dimension, in pixels, of the longest dimension of the animation image.  If
-GMPEG_SIZE is not set, the animation size defaults to the rows & columns
-in the current GRASS region, scaling if necessary to a default minimum size
-of 200 and maximum of 500.  These size defaults are overridden when using
-the -c flag (see below).  The resolution of the current GRASS region is
-maintained, independent of image size.  Playback programs have to decode the
-compressed data "on-the-fly", therefore smaller dimensioned animations will
-provide higher frame rates and smoother animations.

-<h2>Example:</h2>
+<p>A quality value of <b>qual=1</b> will yield higher quality images,
+but with less compression (larger MPEG file size). Compression ratios
+will vary depending on the number of frames in the animation, but an
+MPEG produced using <b>qual=5</b> will usually be about 60% the size
+of the MPEG produced using <b>qual=1</b>.

+<h2>Example</h2>
+
 <div class="code"><pre>
 r.out.mpeg view1="rain[1-9]","rain1[0-2]" view2="temp*"
 </pre></div>
 
-<p>If the number of files differs for each view, the view with the fewest files
-will determine the number of frames in the animation.

-<p>With <b>-c</b> flag the module converts "on the fly", uses less disk space
-by using <em>r.out.ppm</em> with stdout option to convert frames as needed
-instead of converting all frames to ppm before encoding.  Only use when
-encoding a single view.  Use of this option also overrides any size
-defaults, using the <b>CURRENTLY DEFINED GRASS REGION for the output size</b>.
-So be careful to set region to a reasonable size prior to encoding.

 <h2>BUGS</h2>
-MPEG images must be 16-pixel aligned for successful compression, so if the
-rows & columns of the calculated image size (scaled, with borders added)
-are not evenly divisible by 16, a few rows/columns will be cut off the
-bottom & right sides of the image. The MPEG format is optimized to
-recognize image MOTION, so abrupt changes from one frame to another will
-cause a "noisy" encoding.
