'getframe' and 'movie' with larger data

I have tried all sorts of things, including going back to a single monitor, and explicitly specifying the 'position' of the figure used by 'getframe' and 'movie'. Any suggestions as to what is happening here?

data_size = 10;

figure1 = figure; hold off;

u = repmat([1:1:10]',data_size,10); v = u*2;

for qq = 1:10 subplot1 = subplot(1,2,1,'Parent',figure1);

Please explain the similarities to the thread http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/66320-problem-using-getframe-and-movie-with-larger-data-sets . Why do two different persons post the same code?!
