Registax 6

[Mick1 (Mick)]

Does anyone have trouble with registax 6? I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times, I managed to process a picture and closed it down reopened it this morning and no its playing up.
I get to a certain point and the thing refuses to respond.
Has anyone had something similar happen and how did you get around it?

Mick,
I seem to alternate between Registax 5 and 6 depending on the source material.
What size AVI are you processing?

Had the same trouble.

As a test, reduce the file size.

Also need lots of free memory, and close down as many background programs as you can.

Also depends on your computer and what camera you are using. I'm no computer expert , by any stretch , but my old laptop with 4 gig of RAM which worked well with my old Toucam , would not process the avis' from my new ZWO camera, where file size was was more than 2.5 gig+ for 2000 or more frames. Registax 6 would freeze after opening the file.
Newer laptop with 8 gig RAM has no problem processing the ZWO avis' upto 6 gig file size which can be between 2000 to 4000 frames, which is needed to get a decent stack size of , usually 25% of frames.

I had the same issues.

Make sure you have the "number of cores" box correct too. Registax6 wouldn't work on my 2 core old system. Works on a 4 core processor without issues.

However, I found using Autostakkert for stacking the .avi then import to registax for wavelets was a great way to do the processing.

+1 for Autostakker 3 - does a great job stacking solar AVI frames.

I have similar issue when processing large avi files, I tried avistack to see if it was the file and it processed it fine.
I have a reasonable pc, 8 gig ram 4 core processor which should handle it ok.
