Help to use PIPP to convert MOV to AVI

Processing Solar System Troubleshooting Moon

Hello, 

I'm using PIPP to convert a MOV video taken from my point and shoot camera (Nikon Coolpix L820) to uncompressed AVI for use in Autostakkert3, I'm also using it to center the lunar disk in the middle of the frame. But when the processing reaches 82%, it always crashes and an error message appears saying "Error writing to AVI file".

Video type is MOV (H264) and options are optimized for Solar/Lunar full disk. The disk where the AVI video will be saved has enough space to store it, so I have no idea what is going wrong.

This is the first time I use the frame stacking technique, so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If it is going to be bigger than 2 GB then It won't work because that is the file size limit of standard AVI files. It would be a good work around to split the MOV file in two equal segments and then stack them separately.
