Registax Memory

[CowsonConcrete]

Hi

I realise this is a question more for Registax than it is for you guys but you haven't let me down yet so..............

I tried to add an AVI video to Registax last night and kept getting the error message "memory is full". The AVI is only 34mb and it has worked for me in the past so I can't understand what is wrong. However it does state at the bottom of the registax page that I'm viewing 1/2361542 frames! I'm guessing that's why it is "full" but have no idea what those "frames" are.

My typical AVI's consist of between 120 & 250 frames.

I did unistall and reinstall Registax last night but to no avail. Does anyone know what or where it's reading the extra frames full.

If not, can anyone recommend another free stacking software programme.

Thanks in advance,

That's about 26 hrs in length and would be well over 34MB !

Sounds like the file is corrupted - can you import the file into a video editing package to see what that reports ?

Try downloading virtualdub and see what that does with the AVI. It might be that the index pointers in the AVI have become damaged in some way...

Thanks guys. I've got virtualdub but it doesn't convert .mov (my camera records in .mov) so once I find a new converter I'll update you on my progress.

I wonder if VLC would convert it?

VLC Media Player - VLC Player Download

Just thinking outside the box, is the mov format one of these HD formats, that would explain the file size compared to the duration.

A .mov is normally QuickTime isn't it? You need to transcode it to a standard avi. The other option, and I'm sorry I can't recall it's name, there's a program that can split a movie intonit's component images, then you could stack those.

It is, but it also contains support for the H.264 compression, which I beleive is used with some HD cameras - could be wrong ?

Thanks for your comments. I'm still trying to find a decent .mov converter.

It's not used for HD particulary. I think mal c ana jgs got it right when they said it was a corrupt conversion. I have used it before using a good converter but my free trial was up so I took any which would convert .mov.

I will try VLC and get back to you all.

Thanks again, I can always count on this site for unbiased and unjudgemental help.

You can try Blender 3d, it has a video editing section in it that I use to convert my awkwardly 'codec-ed' AVI files into AVI Raw. I'll explain how if you want me to

Thanks virtual pilot, I'll try it in the morning and be in touch if o need help.

(if you could see the pics I'm working with you'd say "why bother!")

You've a great site by the way.
