BUG: Make Movie: name with spaces

Comment: Hello,

I was trying to make a movie from a dataset imported from a lif file. The file imported without a probelm and I can view it and make a movie figure easily. However, when I try to make a movie I get a failed error. I saved the error file and info returned by insight. The file contains both a t and a z series, but only one channel. I'm a bit stuck with this one, can you advise please?

Cheers,
Adam.

When I try to export a movie on nightshade (with any of the 3 formats), the 'info' mencoder shows:

Pos:   0.6s     14f (93%) 10.74fps Trem:   0min   3mb  A-V:0.000 [0:0]
Pos:   0.6s     15f (100%) 10.93fps Trem:   0min   2mb  A-V:0.000 [0:0]
Pos:   0.6s     16f (100%) 11.11fps Trem:   0min   3mb  A-V:0.000 [0:0]
Flushing video frames.
Writing index...
Writing header...
ODML: Aspect information not (yet?) available or unspecified, not writing vprp header.

Video stream: 40603.238 kbit/s  (5075404 B/s)  size: 3248259 bytes  0.640 secs  16 frames

But looking at Adams info, we see

Pos:   4.4s     22f (100%)  0.00fps Trem:   0min   0mb  A-V:0.000 [1236:0]
Pos:   4.6s     23f (100%)  0.00fps Trem:   0min   0mb  A-V:0.000 [1215:0]
Exiting...

And then an error generated by there being no file generated by mencoder.

Could this be caused by the image being large, or strange aspect ratio (1392x1040)?

Adam - are you having trouble with making movie from any other images?

OK, I worked it out! It's because the image name has spaces in it that aren't handled correctly be the command-line used to call menencoder.

As a quick workaround you can rename the file, E.g. replace spaces with "_" or whatever. That should get you going.
