    You should probably investigate first and make sure that it's the
    compression settings that are the issue. It looks to me like vtk png
    writer uses the default compression settings which should be decent.
    I'm wondering if there are some other differences between pv and
    ensight that could account for the difference in the output sizes,
    eg. number of channels, bits per channel, etc... it may be possible
    to tweak some of these upstream from the reader saving you some
    work. Depending on the path you take between investigation,
    modifying vtk, modifying paraview and testing the changes there
    could be a good chunk of work involved.<br>

            Those settings you mention affect the image during transfer
            from the server to the client. They are used to fine tune
            remote rendering performance. Unfortunately the vtkPNGWriter
            does not expose any options for tuning compression.<br>
