That is correct. In order to be able to write a trajectory in a given
format the corresponding plugin must have write support functions included.
The NetCDF plugin does not have them just like many other molfile plugins.
>From the source code:
$ grep '\.open_file_write' molfile_plugin/src/*.{c,C} | wc -l
24
$ grep '\.open_file_read' molfile_plugin/src/*.{c,C} | wc -l
84
so only 24 out of 84 molfile plugins do support writing files.
