Registax problems

Hi all,

I was out last night trying my Infinity camera on the moon and Mars, but I'm having troubles processing the damn things! I converted the seq files to individual tif files cut and paste em to Reg 3 (since to avis are too big for reg 1.4 gig). Now I get through the align and optimise phase but then always run into a access violation crash in the stack phase!! cwy I tried incresing the virtual memory on my laptop, but the same thing keeps happening! Perhaps this is due to the large format of the files I'm using? They are 930 X 670, never had this problem with small format 640X480 avis or tiffs.
Any suggestions?

Mike,

I got this from Wes. He showed me a codec from Lead Technologies that turns my 2gig Avi's into 70meg files, no compression. I've compared before and after and have seen absolutely no difference. I can install the codec (cost of $10) on my system and Streampix picks it up. I use it for all my avi captures now. Also, Lead makes a converter program that will convert from any codec to any other codec you have installed on your computer. I just love this program and use it a lot!! Here are the URL's for the codec and converter.

and

Hope that helps. I have processed 7500 frame Avi's in Registax using this setup.

P.S. Wes probably can give more technical details, I'm not up on that....I just know that it works. grin
