Summary0008427: pv3 movies are lower quality than pv2
Descriptionpv 2.6 had a choice of low/medium/high animation quality. That was lost in 3.0 and the default is now medium, instead of high as in 2.4. All we need is to add GUI widget to set vtkSMAnimationSceneImageWriter::Quality.

This is now becoming an issue for us. This should be fixed for ParaView 3.6.

Changing default animation quality to "best" from "medium".

new revision: 1.8; previous revision: 1.7

Committed to 3.6 branch as well:

For 3.8 we can update the GUI to allow the user to choose the animation quality.

This is still desired/required. We need to add the option for "no compression".

Bringing up to date. This really needs to get done.

Changing to todo. Please add some type of a quality sider or pulldown, with no compression as an option.

Changing to higher priority so it gets done.

Adding the widget is simple enough, but then it gets stranger. The default now _is_ to use maximum resolution, and what's worse _any_ choice produces the same file. I can fix that but I need to look into specifically what all the controls we have over ffmpeg do first.

The real problem turned out to be that color resolution was insufficient.
I changed vtkFFMPEGWriter to use 16 instead of 12 bit color, and added a button which uses the RAWVIDEO codec in case that is insufficient too.

I did not add the old low/medium/high res widget back, since lessening the resolution from what it is now isn't desired.

merged into master, if applicable.

I "believe" this one is fixed. I will reopen if the natives complain.

Tested Linux, local server, master.
