Hi Madhura,<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
