Format:

frame activity (an internel measure roughly proportional to the number of
bits required to encode it).
total activity so far
frame quantisation (how accurately the DCT coefficients of the encoded image
could, on average, be coded whilst staying within the maximum bitrate 
specified).
Total frame quantisation so far.

Motion not directly, but a high activity indicates a frame with a lot of 
changes over its neighbours.  A quantisation indicates that the mpeg2enc is 
having trouble encoding without significant quality loss...
