The MOV video file was converted to an AVI file in Virtual Dub with the FFMpeg plugin. It was shot with a Celestron C11 Edge HD and a Televue 2x Powermate Barlow at f/20. It’s from a stack of the best 10 percent of 4.5 minute MOV video file shot with Canon’s 640 x 480 Movie Crop mode (which gives true 1:1 pixel resolution) at 60 frames per second. The image above shows Mars from its 2012 opposition. I’ve sent an email to Emil and hope to hear back from him and will post here if I find out anything else. The regular release 2.1.0.5 version of AutoStakkert!2 does not support MOV files.īut Emil Kraaikamp, the author of AutoStakkert!2, has a stable alpha version, v 2.3.0.21 of AutoStakkert!2 that will open MOV files if you put FFMpeg in the same directory as AutoStakkert!2. The MOV file should open and you can save it as an uncompressed AVI file that you can open in RegiStax or AutoStakkert!2. – Then under “Files of Type” at the bottom of the open dialog, select: – File > Open Video File (Navigate to the MOV file) Then ( and this is the secret) when you go to open the MOV file in VirtualDub, go to: – Unzip it and put the files in the correct plugin folders in the VirtualDub directory. – Download VirtualDub FFMpeg Input Plugin here: I don’t know if a recent update to Windows 10 broke it or not, but it doesn’t work anymore. Now, I know that this combination of VirtualDub and the QuickTime plugin used to work. There was only one problem with that solution. That was supposed to make the required AVC1 codec available. In this case, compressed MOV files.Ī Google search quickly found a solution that required downloading FFDShow and installing it. Say what?Ī codec is a compression / decompression algorithm that encodes and decodes compressed files. It threw up an error message that said “Missing Codec AVC1”. Recently I went to convert a MOV file, and, surprise, VirtualDub and the QuickTime plugin didn’t work. Video file types are ridiculously complicated, so don’t waste any time thinking any more about this or your head will explode. In the past, the easy and best way to convert a MOV file to an AVI file was to use VirtualDub and FCCHandler’s QuickTime plugin. They usually compress the file which is something we definitely don’t want for high-res planetary. The problem is that they all do a terrible job. There are lots of programs out on the internet that will convert MOV files to AVI files. To use a MOV file in one of these planetary image processing programs, you first have to convert it to an uncompressed AVI file. Well, AutoStakkert!2 does in one of its alpha versions, but more on that later. If you try to open a MOV file in a program like RegiStax or AutoStakkert!2, it generally won’t work because they don’t support that file format. That means the file will have a name something like MVI_8532.MOV. If you use a DSLR for planetary photography, you might shoot video in the camera.Ĭanon cameras record video in an H.264 compressed file format in a MOV container.
