[Paraview] Poor movie quality (revisited)

[Scott, W Alan]

Renato,
Try turning off the light kit.  That gave me some trouble in the past.  If that helps, try removing the personalized paraview config files.

Hi Renato,

I am confused, why do you say unchecking use-offscreen hasn't helped much? I can see that pv-3.4.0_offscreen-UNCHECKED.avi is well-lit when compared with pv-3.4.0_offscreen-CHECKED.avi, or am I missing something here?
