[Paraview] ''Insufficient disk space'' message while there is 200Gb free space

[David E DeMarle]

I've noticed the same thing recently. Berk is correct, no matter what 
causes the writer to fail, the error dialog is the same.

I will check in a fix so that the actual cause is displayed in the next 
day or so.

In the mean time, you may have to run paraview in a debugger or put 
print statements in the vtkAVIWriter or vtkMPEGWriter code to see what 
the causes the Write() call to fail.
