I would also suggest a different tack for capturing live view. I've been working with the programming API, and the individual live view frames are sent to the PC over USB as a JPEG file. You could stream those individual frames to disk fairly easily for use in Registax or the like. I'll see how easy it is to set something like that up.

Note that Live View is reduced resolution. The capture resolution of full frame is 1024x680, with a lower final resolution when 5x and 10x zoom are active. I think you gain access to individual pixels at 10x zoom, but I have yet to confirm that. I'll also try to verify the JPEG compression level; hopefully it is very low. I'll try to have a look at this soon, but my schedule is a bit crowded right now.

Regards,
Eric
