Basically they're all integer-only, aside from some higher level code
with minimal float usage. That could be removed if needed, but it's
probably not a performance issue anyway. I would strongly recommend
using mpeg4 if you can get it fast enough, since mjpeg doesn't
compress well at all, and mpeg1 even takes a lot of space for
tolerable quality.
