Francesco, There was a known bug/feature in the .avi writer in ParaView 5.4.1, where it wrote a version of .avi that was not compatible with the OS X Quicktime player (the OS X default) and the Windows Media player. This has been corrected in ParaView 5.5.0. (I just tested them on my MacBook.

An example: If I make a PNG writer in the code and set the filename it is supposed to write to "foo.pgn" it will write a file named "foo.pgn" because that is what it was programmed to do. The data in the file will still be in the PNG format, the filename will just have the wrong extension. It is

Eric, I'd suggest apply either the "Transform" filter or using the Transformation properties on the *Display* for all of the datasets to recenter so that the camera linking will work. Camera linking doesn't support syncing only rotations. Utkarsh ___ P

If the user did that, then he/she explicitly set the file extension to be .pvtm instead of the default .vtm when creating the Catalyst multiblock dataset writer for the Catalyst script. There is only one XML multiblock data reader and writer. When a user adds a writer when making a Catalyst Python

A common workflow for ParaView is to write out animations as a flipbook – i.e., write out movies as a series of .jpgs or .pngs. If a person wants to post process these pictures into .avi’s or .mov’s, what tools do people use? Further, can these tools deal with the case that .avi’s need X and Y

Trying to wrap my head around what you said. Really basic question – is .pvtm files a viable file format? Either it should be supported in ParaView readers, or it should be removed from Catalyst and VTK – correct? I wrote up a bug here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/181

Hi Alan, I wouldn't describe it as a redundant file format, just a redundant file extension (like ExodusII with .e, .ex2, etc.). Actually, looking through the PV and VTK source code, like Utkarsh did before, there doesn't look to be anything that refers to .pvtm so maybe I'm just remembering thing
