Octave AVI pkg use causing segmentation fault

[Kenneth Johnson]

Used matlab for a long time and moved to octave.

 

installed the video pkg.

 

Have a simple function to dump an array of images to an avi file.

 

I open the avifile("name") ad then loop to add the 2d images to the file using addframe(avi, Array).

 

Several things happen:

 

1) I see the avi file in the directory.  Sometimes I can play it back.

2) On exiting  my funtion script it brings down the entire octave session w/ a segmentation fault. Not always but 80% of the time.

 

I spent a day researching and loking for solutions but alas I am stuck....

 

Any ideas on how to address this?  It doesn't get much simpler than opening the file and looping to add a frame...
