Hi Dimitry,
From my understanding these two methods are telling you the same
thing. There are in fact 2140 frames in your dcd. catdcd looks like it
starts its numbering at 1 (in fact it says this specifically in the
documentation), whereas VMD starts at 0. If you try to export frame
2140 with writepdb in VMD, you'll find that that that frame does not
exist. VMD isn't adding anything.
