Hello all. I am having some trouble with the processing of my large AVI files. It seems that I can only handle 2319 frames before something chokes. K3CCDTools will at least continue with the processing, but without including any frames after that number. Registax runs up to that point, and then just gives me an error message that say it failed to expand the frame.... and it stops running. I can't even use Registax for my larger AVI's. The recent Saturn image that I posted was from an AVI with well over 3000 frames, but I could only use 2319 of them. I assume that this problem may be linked to a memory issue, but I can't figure out what to do. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone out there have a solution? I would appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

Which version of Registax are you using? I seem to remember that Cor said that version 3 will handle either 4000 or 5000 frames. I've done as many as 2400 with version 2 in the past I think.

Also, you could ask in the Registax and K3CCD Yahoo groups as well, both groups are quite active and Cor and Peter spend a lot of time in each helping....

Hi Tyler,

That's the same thing that happens to me at that exact number of frames (2319), with both versions. That is why I usually image Saturn at 5fps. I have Windows XP as my OS, I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Same here. Exact same number of frames when it shuts down. I have a gig worth of RAM so I doubt that is the problem. Running XP Pro as well. You will have to de-select all frames past 2319 to get Registax to finish.
