I've been doing some experimentation and have come across several issues.
Y800 is fine if I go directly into Registax and set the options to debayer (GB). It also comes out in a nice grainy black and white in VirtualDub if I don't tell it to call the format Y800 in IC Capture. I could Debayer (see this
thread on CloudyNights) with ninox (PPMCentre?) but I don't want that extra step.
BY8 works ok on capture up to 60fps, but the output has to be in the format RGB24 which occupies 3x the space as it should since it's using 24bits for each pixel which only has 8bits of data. 100 frames is 90mb vs 30mb for plain Y800.
YUY2 (with no compression, unspecified format) gives me 30fps, 60mb file, and opens in both Registax and VirtualDub.
Saturn's been too dark at f30 or f40 to get to 30fps sometimes, much less 60fps. But the Moon can easily be done at 60fps.
I suppose using any compression codec will cause data loss. Is that so?
Thanks,
