Dear all,

I am using 1.8.4 VMD for MAC (intel processor) and I had some problems
making movie using Movie Maker tool. All of the ppm files from the
trajectory are generated but they can't be connected to the final
movie.
I have installed Netpbm through fink, and everything went well, but
when I tried to use VMD to make movie, it generated .mpg movie
automatically, but it has 0Kb and can't be opened.

This is message from VMD :
