 There is a sample "extension" in the libedemo directory.

I think he meant sample as in sampling images, not sample as in
example. ;)

Doesn't the file target provide the capability to write several
images already btw?

 First, I was wondering about a MPEG-target for ggi (or kgi?), so a target

 to implement the basic primitives? (I don't know much about mpg, so for
 all I know, this suggestion is "way out there").

If you just send I-frames, I think it would be relatively straightforward.
Just keep a buffer and send it out at regular intervals.

There is a sample "extension" in the libedemo directory.  Extensions are
different than targets, but if you learn how an extension works, targets 
should be straightforward and easy.  See the GGI Extension HOWTO.
