Hi Kevin;
You need to install the Bayer Codec I wrote to play the movies back with it.
3) If you have a color FireWire camera and will be recording movies, you will want to install the ASC_Bayer codec to play back those movies. Just just double click on the "BayerInstaller" package and follow the instructions. Note that installation of the codec does not require a restart.
HTH..

I've never had occasion to use a color PGR camera, or at least a color PGR camera in color mode, until now. Specifically, I'm attempting to use the PGR Chameleon CMLN-13S2C-CS USB2 for planetary imaging. When I open a saved Quicktime file taken in grey mode, all is well. However, when I attempt to open a file captured in color mode, I either get an error message or just black frames. The color QT files' video format is "BGGR". I've never heard of that. Is there a way to either convert these files to something I can open/deal with or to have Astro IIDC save them in a usable format? Thanks! -Kevin
