[Pw_forum] Error: while making mpeg/gif movie using xcrysden-bin-static (version 1.4.1)

[Raj Pandey]

Dear Axel,

Thanks for your input. Of course I have plenty of disk space (200 GB empty)
and memory (8 GB).
I believe the problem was something else with the version 1.4.1, because I
tried making movie with the same version
on three different systems and got the same problem. The problem has been
rectified when I installed the latest
snapshot of xcrysden (version 1.5.17). Thanks to Anton. I could make the
movie out of the same .axsf file with
new version, without any issue.

Thanks and regards,

Rajan
