I am unable to export .avi video. I am new to Paraview so i am not sure if i made a mistake while installing the software. I have attached the options i choose when exporting the animation as well as the error that i got when exporting it.

I installed the following:  
ParaView-5.9.0-RC3-Windows-Python3.8-msvc2017-64bit  
from the ParaView downloads website: [Download | ParaView](https://www.paraview.org/download/)

Attached is the info on my computer.

I also have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 4GB GPU.

Thank you for all your help in advance.
