Mars and AVI files???

I keep hearing everyone that is imaging Mars say they pick the best ___ number of frames out of ___. My question is what software is everyone using that allows them to view and pick individual frames out of an AVI. file?


Thanks,
Robert W.

Robert,
There are a few freeware programs that you can downlaod and use. Avi2bmp, AVIEDIT are two programs that I use. AVIEDIT is the easier of the two to use. Just open up your avi file with AVIEDIT, advance frame by frame and cut the bad frames. If by accident you cut out a good frame, you can always undo it. You can then save the remaining avi clip with just the good frames left. You can stack and process the new file with Registax or Astrostack.
Good luck and clear skies.

Robert...RegiStrax2...is great and easy to use given a little time and watching what is said here regarding the best settings or processing image info...

I've been playing with Iris the last few days. It's largely command line driven so a bit difficult to use. It's supposed to handle AVIs but when I try some created with my DV camcorder it says "Decompressor not found". It will automatically sort images by quality though, and that's how I pick X out of Y frames.
