James,
Using BackyardEOS skips a step in there... it records directly to AVI's, so you dont lose any definition in the conversion step. There are also other tools that capture in AVI too. What they all do is take the "Live View" feed from the camera via the USB and convert that into the AVI file. Works like a charm! I am not saying the way you do it is wrong... just offering my method as an alternative.
And no... Registax cant import MOV files (be just as nice if the Canons could record in AVI instead of MOV)... thats why I went and found software that records AVI directly. I have also lately swapped from Registax to AVIStacker... although I do also love the results I get from Registax, I found that Registax occassionally spits the dummy and doesnt load some AVI files... but AVIStacker seems to have no trouble.
AVIStacker does take longer... but you can also set up a good batch process if you have a zillion AVI's you want processed.
There seems to be many packages out there... and for a begginer like me they are very daunting.... even learning Registax, then AVIStacker seemed beyond me at first... but slowly nutted them out. So worth it though... loving making images!!! Wanting to try some deep space stuff next....
