// .NAME vtkMPEG2Writer - Writes MPEG2 Movie files.
//
// .SECTION Description
// vtkMPEG2Writer writes Movie files. The data type
// of the file is unsigned char regardless of the input type.
//
// This class is conditionally compiled into VTK only if VTK's CMake
// option VTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER is ON. It is OFF by default.
//
// Portions of the mpeg2 library are patented. VTK does not enable linking to
// this library by default so VTK can remain "patent free". Users who wish to
// link in mpeg2 functionality must build that library separately and then
// turn on VTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER when configuring VTK. After turning on
// VTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER, you must also set the CMake variables
// vtkMPEG2Encode_INCLUDE_PATH and vtkMPEG2Encode_LIBRARIES.
//
// You are solely responsible for any legal issues associated with using
// patented code in your software.
//
// You can download a "CMake-ified" source tree of the MPEG2 library by
// visiting the download page at http://www.vtk.org and scrolling down to
// the "Download Additional Components" section.
