Another "what the.." Registax question

[John K]

Thought I captured some good AVI's this morning of Mars, but under no circumstances am I able to resize these either in Bell, Michell or Lanczos modes without the images unable to align themselves properly, thus I am getting a blurred image all over the screen.

I have re-sampled images before (up to 2.0) without an issue, and I can always do it in Mitchell or Bell modes.

I am also using the Stackgraph to further cut do the poor images.

Any ideas?

Registax does that to me on occasion: the blurred images (only rarely). I actually tried resampling this morning for the 1st time. I'll be staying clear of that part, it's no advantage to me that I can see. Then again, seeing I'm only a n00b to registax the problems I have are probably operator error. I just use it for stacking then get the hell outa there!

same John, when i tried you movie you sent.

It seems to correct itself it you can centre all images via ppmcentre.

you have to convert the avi into bmp vias bink and smacker and then load the bmps into registax.

it seems to enlarge it!

All I did with that AVI Dave was to cut those frames outa the AVI in registax manually.

BTW You won't have that trouble with the one I'll be sending you soon!!! ;) :)

Response on this question from Cor who developed Registax:

--------------------------
If you use the "create-reference" option with resampling "on" this
will lead to problems. Also you should not run 2 different processes
on the same file in sequence. If you want to resample, load the avi,
select the frames (quality), then in the optimizer you set the option
resampling. If you dont use "create-reference" this should
work as planned.

Registax3 does still have this problem, I have found that it chews through ram if you use resample after you have already gone to waveletts. Sometimes it will just produce garbled images and sometimes will crash. In such instances I just restart the process.
