My question is: the HC3 will create a 1080p60i HDV video file. Is it possible to extract an image sequence (collection of BMPs,JPEGs etc from individual frames) in this HD format? If so, what software could I use? I plan to use Registax to do the stacking/processing but I'm unsure if it supports the HD format or only regular AVI's. Also, I guess I should set exposure to maximum to increase the CCD sensitivity, unfortunately I cannot set shutter speed. -------------------- Celestron 8 (1978 model!)+tripod+eq.wedge Post Extras:       gordianknot professor emeritus Reged: 09/04/05 Posts: 542 Re: Astrophotography with Sony HC3 Camcorder [Re: alegator]       #2130110 - 01/18/08 09:06 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I suspect media coder will read it: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/ .
