If I'm understanding what you're trying to do correctly, you need to
escape the quotations in the label string. In pymol (and python in
general), you can do this by either a backslash before the double quotes
for the label, or enclosing the label string in single quotes.
Since I probably didn't explain that very clearly, your example would
convert to (the quotes around the selection in the label command may not
be needed in this case):
1. cmd.mdo (691," hide spheres,ERYTHROMYCIN;show cartoon,rna_ery;set
label_size, 30; set label_postion,[ 1.00000, 0.00000, 1.75000 ]; label
(\"resi 2041 and name C4*\",\"resi\" )")
2. cmd.mdo (691," hide spheres,ERYTHROMYCIN;show cartoon,rna_ery;set
label_size, 30; set label_postion,[ 1.00000, 0.00000, 1.75000 ]; label
('resi 2041 and name C4*','resi' )")
Alternatively, you could generate your movie as a png series (one png for
each frame), and combine them with convert (part of ImageMagick), ffmpeg,
or mencoder.
Good luck,
Pete
