title: MovieWriter ffmpeg unavailable; trying to use <class 'matplotlib.animation.PillowWriter'> instead
body: <p>Is there any way to use moving plot without ffmpeg?</p>
  
  <pre><code>import matplotlib.animation as animation
  from IPython.display import HTML
  
  fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(15, 8))
  animator = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, draw_barchart, frames=range(1968, 2019))
  HTML(animator.to_jshtml()) 
  animator.save('dynamic_images.mp4')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My code is above, I am getting the key error<code>.mp4'</code>,  <code>ValueError: unknown file extension: .mp4</code></p>
  
  <p>I tried installing <code>conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg</code> end up with SSL issue</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Is there any way to use moving plot without ffmpeg</p></li>
  <li><p>As like error throwing is there any way to use 'matplotlib.animation.PillowWriter'</p></li>
  </ul>
