Dear ParaView Team, I have the same problem as Ricardo Canelas reported on http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2011-April/020795.html : Saving an animation to avi doesn't work on my win7 64bit computer runnung ParaView 3.10.1 64-bit. I then tried to save jpgs and transform them into a video file myself. But here the next problem arised: The jpgs (or tifs) have "holes". The first few frames are ok but then it seems like certain areas are just not rendered. Is there any solution to that? My mesh is ply file that is about 20MB, has 498310 vertices and 995707 faces.
The temporary solution was to run Paraview on my mac, which works fine as long as the mesh is not huge. Important: When saving an animation to an avi on a mac, the framerate needs to be a power of 2 (1,2,4,8,16,32,..), as David Partyka pointed out on http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11923 , otherwise there's an error "vtkFFMPEGWriter: Error initializing video stream" . This seems to be another bug, but not such an important one, provided one knows what framerates work. For the time being, it would be nice to at least notify the user what framerates do work. I guess I was just lucky to stumble upon David's solution.
