Registax file limit?

[Andrew INT]

Hi all,

In the past then ever I have dabbled with planetary imagery with a small webcam, I have been ok using Registax. However, I last AVI file for Saturn was 2.05 Gb. Registax simply froze each time. Do you think this is a hardware or a software problem?

If it is a software issues, can anyone recommend some (free) software which can stack such a file. Failing that, if it is my laptop unable to process a large file, is there any software which can easily trim the AVI files down a bit?

Many thanks for any advice.

regards,

Andrew

It's not Registax, i quite often have AVI files over 3Gb.

There is a tick box that you need to tick if the files are over a cetain size 1Gb I think it is.

At the top, about the middle

EXTENDED MODE

DEFAULT

VISTA

I have a tick on default (windows 7 machine).

USE EXTENDED MODE

AVI>2Gb

AVI>1Gb

NEVER

ALWAYS

I have checked the ALWAYS option.

Hope that this helps.

Cheers

Registax may not be able to handle the file in Vista, I've had that before.

Can either process it in a different OS or use PIPP to pre process a bit and make the file smaller.

Thanks Ant.

I should also sat that I am using Windows 7 OS.

You're quite right. I use both R5 and R6 and those settings aren't there in R6.

I had never noticed that. I've had a search through the various options and cannot see that at all. So Apologies, looks like my suggestion is no good for you.

Registax (AS!2 same) certainly borks on files above 4GB (32 bit offsets in files anyone). I have had to run them through pipp and crop the frames before they worked. PIPP is just fantastic

Thanks D4N, that's splendid and did the trick. Cheers
