Dear Axel, Thanks for your input. Of course I have plenty of disk space (200 GB empty) and memory (8 GB). I believe the problem was something else with the version 1.4.1, because I tried making movie with the same version on three different systems and got the same problem. The problem has been rectified when I installed the latest snapshot of xcrysden (version 1.5.17). Thanks to Anton. I could make the movie out of the same .axsf file with new version, without any issue.
Thanks and regards, Rajan IBM I On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 8:06 PM, Axel Kohlmeyer <akohlmey at cmm.chem.upenn.edu > wrote: > On Tue, 17 Feb 2009, Raj Pandey wrote: > > RP> Dear PWSCF developers and users, > RP> > RP> I am using xcrysden (XCrySDen-1.4.1bin-static).
