(meteorobs) Need help to stack 5 seconds of video into single image

[stange34 at sbcglobal.net]

Do you check the "Make long exposure after each event" in the settings menu?

You can compare those images after adjusting the contrast & brightness of 
each with a photo program to make overlays with them to determine if a 
common radiant is possible.

To stack easily, the movies should be converted to an .avi format(somehow) 
where you can use avi2bmp program to stack them with registax.
