Hi, This is a common problem to long trajectory. It is fine as long as there is no real corruption in the trajectory file, caused by network, disk, etc.
Solution: Shift a bit backward from the -b, this may be a few hundred ps or several ns, then extract the segment you would like to have from this secondary trajectory.

So I want to cut out the last 1ns. I was able to do that using -b and -e flags of trjconv, say -b 19000 and -e 20000 for a .trr trajectory. However, to save disk space I converted it into .xtc format and I cannot use trjconv with -b and -e flags anymore. I got error msg like: Fatal error: Specified frame doesn't exist or file not seekable One more thing, my system consists of a protein and a ligand. At some snapshots, the ligand just jumps out of the box even when I used -pbc mol -ur compact. I tried with -pbc nojump and other option as well but none works perfectly in all cases. How to make sure that the ligand always stays with the protein so that I can write the script to automatically generate the snapshots and do some post-processing on them. Thank you for any suggestion. Regards, Tri
