[Paraview] error: cannot convert 'ByteIOContext**' to 'ByteIOContext*' for argument '1' to 'int url_fclose(ByteIOContext*)'

[David E DeMarle]

VTK's FFMPEG adapter is not compatible with recent FFMPEG versions
because parts of FFMPEG's API have changed.

There is an existing bug (http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=4719) on
the VTK bugtracker to update VTK to be compatible with recent FFMPEG,
but we have not gotten to it yet.

In the meantime, you can either svn back date to 2006-01-30, or
download the FFMPEG source code from that date via
http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php#addons.

cheers,
Dave DeMarle
