thanks Gents -
sadly 5x makes no difference to performance :-(
Movrec doesn't do 1080p....
1024 x 680 is the frame size of the resultant .avi
The theory is that to "1080p" that you would normally record to the CF card is actually quite compressed, and contains compression artifacts...
The .avi from movrec is not compressed....so theoretically has better quality.
(This seems to be borne out by some low-light non-astro pics i have tested...a stack of 100 grainy pictures started to approximate a nice picture, with no grain)
back to the performance issues....
So i tried movrec in my desktop which has quite a decent h/w spec.
A consistant 30fps is the result....
so it looks like the lappie might be a tad underspecced :-(
I did discover one thing though....
turning of "aero" boosted the FPS to a consistant 15...
anybody know what else i can do do wring more out of a dual-core 1.8ghz AMD lappie?
