[PyMOL] RE: making a movie

[dieter b. <die...@un...>]

Hi,
 this works now fine and I get a movie. However, when trying to save it 
with "mpng mov" I I get a single frame only, and with "mpng mov #" I get 
a series of frames in which all pictures are overlayed sequentially. I.e. 
the first frame has the first picture, the second has the first plus the 
second picture one over the other and so forth. The very last picture is 
then a big blop of all states looking like a collection of all conformations  
as you might see it in a very bad NMR structure. What is wrong?
Cheers, Dieter
