digital camera video for avi-stack ?

[Aenima]

Am using a regular digital compact with adapter-to-telescope eyepiece to take snapshots afocally. Now having got stacking software and wanting to get to know it for when i get a webcam modded, i wondered if using the camera's video function to capture avi footage is any good to put through registax, say to image moon or saturn for example?

Is this a waste of time?

Anyone have any info on this?

Cheers,

Aenima.

I have tried it myself and loved what was accomplished. However, Registax doesn't seem to recognize my video files recorded with my HD camera. Is anyone else having this problem?

It can be done but you need to change the file format and i think decompress it

You should be able to use virtualdub to convert it

Thanks Chris! actually, I thought I had downloaded this program sometime ago but it gave me issues. I will give it another try!
