(meteorobs) OT -Requested a specific meteor software program....

[stange]

HandyAvi is touchy about the codec's and such for .avi's so I use Radvideo 
for general conversions.

Thank you Stange! File sizes are around 3Mb, so a 3Gb video is a really
huge file, but of course I can split it into lighter files.

I didn´t know that HandyAvi is compatible with an avi input ( I have
used it with a frame grabber). Can also UfoCapture do it? I have got
better results with UfoC (but HandyAvi is cheaper!).

I have also remembered that Peter Gural wrote MeteorScan but for Macs,
has anyone used it?

Thank you all for all the answers!
