Thanks for your suggestions.  I can render the pov file by one frame. I can make sure the povRay had been installed.  I only make sure whether VMD movie maker can used "POV-Ray" correctly right now. So could anybody give me some suggestions? Thanks very much~ javacfish ________________________________ From: Axel Kohlmeyer <akohlmey_at_gmail.com> To: javacfish <javacfish_at_yahoo.com.cn> Cc: "vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu" <vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu> Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 5:58 PM Subject: Re: vmd-l: The err happens when movie maker Renderer POV-Ray On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 11:01 AM, javacfish <javacfish_at_yahoo.com.cn> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > When I make movie through VMD movie maker, I choose the Renderer "POV-Ray", > it can not make the movie, the err as below: > > ###################################################################### > > ppmtompeg: Couldn't open input file '/home/test/doc/dna.00000.ppm' > Cleaning generated data, frames, and encoder parameter files > Movie generation complete. > > ######################################################################## > > I found the generated file format is ".pov".

How do I deal with it? do you have a working povray installation? have you tried it from the Render menu for a single frame? is there any special reason to use povray over Tachyon? axel. > > Sincerely yours, > javacfish -- Dr. Axel Kohlmeyer  akohlmey_at_gmail.com  http://goo.gl/1wk0 International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste.
