Summary0011923: Paraview 3.10 RC bits: unable to save animation
DescriptionI switched to Paraview 3.10.0 RC1 (downloaded from the website) and I get the following error when saving animation as a .avi file:

Generic Warning: In /home/kitware/Projects/ParaView-3.10/source/VTK/IO/vtkFFMPEGWriter.cxx, line 211

Could not open codec.

ERROR: In /home/kitware/Projects/ParaView-3.10/source/VTK/IO/vtkFFMPEGWriter.cxx, line 514

vtkFFMPEGWriter (0x12e902d0): Error initializing video stream.

I noticed this error only when I give frame rate >1. I am able to save animation successfully if I give frame rate as 1fps.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and I tried out saving animation of camera in orbit around the contour of a wavelet.
Steps To ReproduceOn Paraview 3.10 RC:
1. Create a source, and animate camera along the orbit.
2. Save animation using File Menu.
3. Select the options:
     -Save as .avi file
     -frame rate as 20 fps
Additional InformationReply from David Partyka to my email:
-------
I can recreate this bug with my own binary but also discovered it seems to work if the frame rate is a power of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,..). I have a feeling something is going wrong possibly computing bit rates etc when initializing ffmpeg. Do you mind also reporting a bug on ParaView.org/Bug.

 commit 7850deb7e5f17ab76de2a2ac07ef40d7b7234adf
Author: Utkarsh Ayachit <utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com>
Date: Wed Oct 24 17:56:07 2012 -0400

    BUG 0011923. Fix computation of bit-rate-tolerance.
    
    Bit rate tolerance was being computed incorrectly when FrameRate > 1. There is
    no need to specify any bit-rate tolerance, so we simply use the default values,
    unless overridden by the user.

 I am pretty sure this is fixed. If it is still an issue, please reopen the bug with details how to replicate it (such as what dataset/source to use).

Tested with can.exo, changed fps to 2 in save animation. Worked.

Tested Windows, local server, master.
