Excuse me for my English first.

I use Mac OS 10.6.8 Spyder for some time with great pleasure. Thank you for 
your work! 
However, since yesterday I have a problem with creating animations (MP4) 
with matplotlib.

1. My script works from the command line (and make an mp4 file), but I get 
an error in Spyder with the same script:

/Applications/Spyder.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/matplotlib/animation.py:
 
598: 
UserWarning: ffmpeg MovieWriter unavailable
warnings.warn ("% s MovieWriter unavailable" writer%)

It seems that Spyder's Python can not find the 'ffmpeg' program that 
creates the MP4 file.

2. I did some tests: if I start Spyder in the console command line, my script 
is compiled correctly in Spyder ! But if I start Spyder by clicking on the 
icon in the Applications folder, python does not find 'ffmpeg' that is in 
'/usr/local/bin'.

In fact, '/usr/local/bin' is in my PATH in the console (I type 'env' in the 
console to see it), but Spyder do not know if I run it from the 
Applications folder ...

Could you tell me if it is possible to tell Spyder, it must use the PATH 
variable 
to launch external programs (if my problem is it) ?


Thanks again.
Laurent.
