[Paraview] Poor movie quality (revisited)

[Renato N. Elias]

Hi Utkarsh,

yes, I'm using a Windows machine and the offscreen rendering option has 
not helped so much :-(

Just for comparison, I produced the same movie using PV3.4.0 and 
PV2.6.2. Take a look:

ParaView-3.4.0 (Offscreen rendering for screenshots UNchecked):

ParaView-3.4.0 (Offscreen rendering for screenshots checked):
http://www.nacad.ufrj.br/~rnelias/paraview/movies/pv-3.4.0_offscreen-CHECKED.avi

ParaView-2.6.2:
http://www.nacad.ufrj.br/~rnelias/paraview/movies/pv-2.6.2.avi

What do you think?

Renato.
