Hi Ahmad, Looks like that option is broken… as far as I know it is very rarely (never?) used. It may be that those standards are old anyway, and not really standard for modern times. However, I submitted a bug report. In the meanwhile just change the Chimera graphics window size to what you want before recording, e.g. command “windowsize 720 480” There are also movie encode options to control bit rate if you wanted to do that (quality, bitrate). <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/movie.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/windowsize.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/movies.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

I'm recording a movie in the command line using:

movie record movie stop movie encode output ~/

I tried to include the option preset dvd for movie encode, I recieved the following error:

"Error reading paper_movie.txt: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'standard_formats'

File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-1.12/share/MovieRecorder/moviecmd.py", line 124, in encode_op settings = RG.standard_formats.get(preset)

See reply log for Python traceback."

What am I doing wrong and how can I record my movie at 720p?

Regards.
