[Support #SJU-406848]: Generating Quicktime Movies in IDV

All we do to make a movie is to take a series of screen shots (as jpeg images) 
and then
we have some code from somewhere that writes out the mov file. I assume the 
quicktime has different
encodings and we're using the jpeg frame encoding. You might want to consult 
with the vendor of your
graphics system to see what formats they take.

Also - the IDV can produce avi or animated gigs (just save the movie capture as 
a .avi or .gif file).
Maybe your system supports those formats?
