Good!

Yeah I figured that would be needed.

No, sorry.
A code I used (one or two years ago) looks like:

## set basename of project
:
## Create video file
aviobj=avifile([basename '.avi'],'fps',5)
:
<draw a nice picture (full screen btw)>
:
## Initial picture (1st frame)
F=getframe(fig); 
addframe(aviobj,F);
:
## start loop
:
< one by one, draw amended pictures >
:
F = getframe(fig);
addframe(aviobj,F);
:
## end loop; close video
:
aviobj=close(aviobj);

<blush> thanks but please don't exaggerate ;-)

I hope the most that you've learned a bit about how to debug your code. That
is an important goal for most of us here.
