Since upgrading to LV 2012 SP1, I've noticed that the newer `IMAQ AVI2 Create' module doesn't seem to write uncompressed .avi files in the same way as the old one (IMAQ AVI Create). For compatibility, I need to use uncompressed video; it seems that the new version only allows `Y800 Uncompressed Grey Scale' video, which is not understood by my operating system (W7 x64), so Windows Explorer can't draw thumbnails or open in media player - this is useful for previewing and organising videos. ImageJ and VirtualDub have no problem opening the videos.
It's unclear exactly what format the older `IMAQ AVI Create' uses by default - whatever it was, it worked fine! Various astronomy forums have suggested installing ICcapture to provide a Y800 codec for WMP, but this doesn't work for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Laurence
