Why didn't input work? Can you post your code?
You also might want to look at uiputfile(), a GUI version of a file choose prompt.

There are many ways to let the user provide a filename. This is the simplest I can think of.
>> filespec = input('Please give a filename: ');
Please give a filename: 'c:\temp\my.avi'
>> disp(filespec)
c:\temp\my.avi
>> movie2avi( mov, filespec )
Undefined function or variable 'mov'.
>>
I had not assigned a value to mov.
You must describe your problem in some more detail.

Thanks, its working. This is the part:
filespec = input('Name of avi file:', 's');
movie2avi(handles.F, filespec,'fps',2);
this is part of my code. problem was in name of variable - filespec. i was creating variable filename and all avi files were names filename.avi
