[IDV #YPH-121185]: Movie animation capture with large datasets

If they are indeed using the "Time Animation" capture (as opposed to the 
"Automatically" capture)
it should just capture every time step in turn. Perhaps its a timing issue. 
Have them try
running the idv setting a property which is the time we wait between the time 
step and the image capture:

idv -Didv.capture.sleep=2000

This sleeps for 2000 milliseconds before the image is captured.
