Using getframe in Matlab on Windows

Question

I used the code which I asked about here but added in the final loop the ani(ii)=getframe; and after the loop movie2avi(ani, 'orbeeit.avi', 'compression', 'None');. instead of proper avi I get a frozen smashed avi (length 10 sec) which its only frame is this one . What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This problem is probably caused by Windows Vista (and newer) in conjunction with certain graphics drivers as described in this bug report.

You can change the renderer after you created the figure:

set(gcf,'Renderer','zbuffer');

Or

opengl('software');
