Try running with '--verbose-debug' as in: python basic_example_writer.py --verbose-debug That should give you standard out and standard error from running ffmpeg, which might be illustrative. x264 is probably the most universally supported codec for html5 video. Another option would be to use

Dear colleagues, Thanks for the quick feedback. I've installed the "faulthandler" package, added it to the import and enabled it with faulthandler.enable(). Below the console trace of the test using the pcolormesh function and the traceback information: python test3.py Fatal Python

Dear colleagues, I've done a build from source of latest Matplotlib package and deployed it at our IBM z13 machine (s390x). It uses the current release 1.5.1. During the unit tests I found an issue with a test case from NOAA which uses a pcolormesh draw function with basemap. Example 2:
