Description Olivier LAHAYE 2011-02-08 16:22:16 CET

mpeg_encode is obsolete and hard to find. mpeg_encore-1.5c61.src.rpm can be rebuilt for linux thants to internet memory, but the homepage URL has disapeared.

Thus ./source/visualization/OpenGL/src/G4OpenGLQtViewer.cc line 1448 is wrong as it points to http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/ which has vanished.

At least, fix the message or the url in the message.
At best, use a mpeg_encode replacement. ffmpeg or the like?

Yes, problem is documented in http://geant4.in2p3.fr/spip.php?article60&lang=en (at the end)
but there is a mistake in source code, sorry I will update it.
The new external software to do this could be "ppmtompeg". Qt driver record each frame on OpenGL scene, ppmtompeg will merge all picture in one movie file. http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/
