I know this isn't the VMD list, but I've done this before with amber
mdcrd files ..............
In VMD, if you see the "movie" correctly in the VMD window when you
press play, then you should have all the frames necessary to make a
movie this way. But Make sure you select "trajectory" instead of
"rock" (or something like) in the Movie Maker "Movie Setting" menu as
the movie option. (rock will just rotate the molecule in one of the
frames, I think.)
