This looks like to be the be the framerate bug (
<a href="http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=11923">http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=11923</a> ). Does setting the frame rate to a power of two work at all for you?<div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 3:40 PM, Joe Ping-Lin Hsiao <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:phsiao@cs.unc.edu">phsiao@cs.unc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Thanks for the input. I tried Scott's configuration setting in both<br>
0.6.1 and 0.6.5, but I still got errors when saving a .avi file. I<br>
also tried with different parameters, e.g. --arch=x86_64, but it<br>
didn't help. The errors are<br>
<br>
Generic Warning: In<br>
/Users/phsiao/dev/src/ParaView-3.14.0/VTK/IO/vtkFFMPEGWriter.cxx, line<br>
211<br>
Could not open codec.<br>
<br>
ERROR: In /Users/phsiao/dev/src/ParaView-3.14.0/VTK/IO/vtkFFMPEGWriter.cxx,<br>
line 514<br>
vtkFFMPEGWriter (0x128cac300): Error initializing video stream.<br>
<br>
A weird thing is the error messages only appear if I set the fps to<br>
greater than one in the saving dialog. If I leave it to the default<br>
value, which is one, there is no problem.<br>
<br>
Here is my system info:<br>
Mac OS X 10.6.8<br>
Qt 4.6.3<br>
ParaView 3.14.0<br>
ffmpeg 0.6.1 and 0.6.5<br>
<br>
The configure setting is same as Scott's:<br>
<div class="im">./configure --disable-static --disable-network --disable-zlib<br>
--disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay --disable-decoders --enable-shared<br>
</div>--enable-swscale --prefix=/Users/phsiao/dev/ffmpeg-0.6.1-make-install<br>
