Francesco, There was a known bug/feature in the .avi writer in ParaView 5.4.1, where it wrote a version of .avi that was not compatible with the OS X Quicktime player (the OS X default) and the Windows Media player. This has been corrected in ParaView 5.5.0. (I just tested them on my

If the user did that, then he/she explicitly set the file extension to be .pvtm instead of the default .vtm when creating the Catalyst multiblock dataset writer for the Catalyst script. There is only one XML multiblock data reader and writer. When a user adds a writer when making a Catalyst

Can somebody explain this problem: When I connect ParaView to a Catalyst live session (running "cd Examples/Catalyst/PythonFullExample; pvpython fedriver.py cpscript.py") and open a "somedata.pvd" file containing a time series, I cannot scroll through the time steps in the file, because ParaView

Hi Alan, I wouldn't describe it as a redundant file format, just a redundant file extension (like ExodusII with .e, .ex2, etc.). Actually, looking through the PV and VTK source code, like Utkarsh did before, there doesn't look to be anything that refers to .pvtm so maybe I'm just remembering
