No one? Bummer... I had the exact same problem, but didn't find a
solution (there may be one, but it seems if there is, it is overly
complicated at best).

I ended up instead dumping my QImage's into a QProcess that is running
ffmpeg ('QImage::save(&process, "bmp")'). It works well except that it
lacks a simple way to get the encode process, so you end up just waiting
until it's done with no way of knowing where it's at.
