Those of you that live in the UK are only to aware that cloudless days are few and far between so when we do indeed have one of those rare days I set up my Lunt 50 and laptop etc. There are a few days where there are breaks in the cloud but I have to setup from scratch, it must be wonderful to be permanently setup. For practice I usually take a minimum of three sets of videos, three surface three proms and three flats. That gives me plenty of practice, in the acquisition then in the processing, not got too far with the processing but getting better. I have two questions, those being;
1) I set the output to avi. but for some reason I also had a few ser. these ser videos would not open, it kept asking if I wanted to open in a different app ! What is that all about, I am absolutely (nearly) hopeless on the pc. Any idea how to either stop this happening or advice on how to open them.
2) is there a way of starting afresh once I start processing? What I mean is can I delete any processing even though I have moved on to say, proms.
Please help.

In Firecapture sometimes you get SER instead of AVI files. You have to check each time you record a video
In Autostakkert you can process both (AVI and SER files)
freeware SER players are also available (PC & MacOS and Linux)

You can always stop and start afresh. Simply click cancel in AS! and start all over again.

Sometimes if you are clicking other settings, eg 16 bit it will record as a ser file.
