Hi
I’m using AstroVideo as my main capture software. But not to capture AVI’s.
First of all, did you in File Menu select camera type you are using? If your camera is not listed there – select Video Capture Device.
In Capture set-up Frames per Image must be set to 1
In Advanced Capture setting Frame capture via scratch file must be check
If I use Frame capture via AVI file I get same error message as you did.
Ticking colour option works for ToUCam and colour Mintron. Check in the software that comes with your camera and in your capture card software that it is set for the output you are using. What I mean is that Video Capture Card Software may be set to S Video but your camera is outputting Composite video. The AstroVideo does not set up those properties.
FPS – you can use Time lapse, if set to 0mS it will capture as fast as hardware allows.
Banding – don’t really know, try to tick Video overlay in View menu (if you can) and check in Video- Video format and in your driver software that it is set for PAL B
