[CIG-SEISMO] Movie Creation Error

[Carl Tape]

Hi John,

I just made a movie with the latest version of the devel code for
SPECFEM3D (movie here: http://youtu.be/Tx-u_HULFnY), so things appear
to be working. I always use the AVS UCD format, though, so I can speak
for the format you are trying (opendx).

One thing I noticed from your output was the line

../in_out_files/OUTPUT_FILES/moviedata******

which  is suggestive of an older version of the code, since the path
should point to OUTPUT_FILES/moviedata*** (no in_out_files). I also
think the that execution command is like

./bin/xcreate_movie_shakemap_AVS_DX_GMT

It could be that the relative path to your movie files is incorrect.
But if this fails, then I would try AVS UCD format, which I have been
using for several years, and it seems to work well. And if that fails
for you, then I would try the latest devel version of the code.

Good luck.
Carl
