In my searches for programs to split files, I came across a Linux program that will break an AVI into BMPs in batch. It is called mplayer. I might run under cygwin and help you to extend what can be done in batch mode.
yeh if I could batch up the splitting of avi's into BMP's, that'd be great - cause that manual step in VirtualDub is quite frustrating.

I usually do it while capturing avi's.. that is, after i've finished capturing one avi, i'll open it in virtual dub and start saving the BMP's. I've found that I can still capture the next avi while VirtualDub is saving the previous as BMP's.

The only problem with batching that step, is that sometimes the planet runs off the frame slightly during part of the AVI because my tracking isn't very good. I use virtualdub to delete those bad frames where part of the planet is outside the FOV, so registax doesn't think it's "sharp". To be able to batch it, I'd need to much more careful about keeping the planet in the FOV during the whole capture.
