Very bright, might have to get some filters
David, there's nothing wrong with your video, except Jupiter is overexposed. You need to play with the shutter settings, you've probably got it at 1/25s or something? Try 1/33 or 1/50, or even at 1/100s when you're not using a barlow. The amount of light incoming is overexposing Jupiter. Drop the shutter to one of the suggested settings above, and you'll start to make out the bands on Jupiter in your video.

Also, is there a reason you're converting it to wmv? To process it in registax, you need to leave it as an avi. Once you start seeing bands on your raw video, upload the avi and i'll process it for you.

One more thing, is that the resolution you're recording at? It looks like 320x200. You should be recording at 640x480, which you change in some settings under the Video menu. What program are you using to capture?
