Fits to AVI/SER conversion?????

[Merlin66]

I unfortunately didn't check my settings on a solar image run (fighting a new spectrohelioscope and cloud/ wind) and ended up with a series of fits files rather than the intended SER/AVI file......

It would be good to be able to convert all these fits images to an AVI file - don't need any "pre-processing" features just use the fits as is.

I tried Arnholm's "ImageTools Sca" program which appeared to work but gave me an un-readable AVI output.
(Could be the total file(s) size - around 4Gb and/ or the exposures 0.03sec, don't know..)
Can anyone suggest/ recommend any software which would work?

I've never done it but I'm pretty sure you can load a serie of FIT files in registax 6 then output to an AVI. There's also a list of codec available.

Is PIPP not able to do that?

Guys, appreciate the input...
No didn’t seem to work with PIPP but I’ll try Registax after dinner......

Thanks guys, but Registax didn’t work....
I followed Dunk’s suggestion and after a ibit of experimenting found that PIPP actually worked with the 800 fits image to give a usable SER output.
So far so good, many thanks!!!

PIPP has been a life saver for file conversion i find. Not all programs implement file formats correctly or fully and getting fits from one program working in others is hit and miss. Everything I save from PIPP just works it seems.
