Although I am not sure this is the case, let me share with you what I
experienced before.
It turned out that I used too much memories on my machine while I make
a movie from vmd.
So I would like to suggest, if this is the case, to reduce your traj
files or clean up some of your account to support big enough memory
size (don't know how big yours are though).

Hope this will help,
