Alan,

Great catch – avi opens with VLC, not with Windoze Media Player

A bit more detail.  I also received the garbage that Dennis did.  When running Rendering Settings as use offscreen memory, all was well.  When running use off screen memory off, I got all of this verbiage.  But, my .avi’s were good.

Dennis – try opening your .avi’s with VLC.  Does that work?

Here is the verbiage:
[avi @ 0x79d2760] Using AVStream.codec.time_base as a timebase hint to the muxer is deprecated. Set AVStream.time_base instead.
[avi @ 0x79d2760] Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up.

Kitware – any ideas?  Doesn’t the Kitware binaries use an internal .avi codec?

Dennis – note that this is SuperComputing week.  Kitware has been running a sparse staff at work.

Alan

p.s. – Kitware booth rocked.  The immersive 3d demo was awesome!

Alan,

I’m using Kitware builds, local server – weird!     This was reported by a user and I have duplicated it here

Dennis,
I tried, and cannot replicate.  I am on Redhat also.  Are you using your own builds, or Kitware binaries?  I am using 5.4.1 Kitware binaries, local server.  If not, try Kitware binaries?

Alan,

Version 5.4.1,   Redhat, can.ex2
Viewsize was 1196 x 766 – let me know if you can replicate.
I tried deleting my PV ini files in hopes that would fix it, but no joy!

Dennis,
I believe that the first line isn’t important.
I believe that the second line is fatal.  This is what we were seeing with 5.4.0, that I thought we fixed.  Mind passing me directions to replicate (including size of the viewport, when shown in the Save Animation window, whether this is a custom build, the OS, and a dataset?  If I can replicate, I will write it up.

Otherwise, you write it up, I will mark appropriately?

Anyone else seeing this?

I’m getting the same msg I was getting in v4.4 (but in v4.4 it still produced a useable animation).
