I've just started out with SharpCap and I'm trying to figure out how to record video, either AVI or SER. I have 2 cameras that I've tried with. The ASI174MM Mini and the PlayerOne Poseidon-C. When I connect either one of them I don't have the option to output to AVI or SER. I know it's me and I've searched for the answer, but I'm coming up empty. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks
No AVI or SER option

Re: No AVI or SER option
Hi,
have you used the 'live view' button in the toolbar to toggle the camera into still mode? When the camera is in still mode, you will only get still image formats available to save to (ie PNG, FITS, TIFF, etc). If you toggle the camera back into live video mode by pressing the 'Live View' button again, you will get the video file formats re-appear.
cheers,
Robin

Re: No AVI or SER option
Yeah I figured that out after I posted. I deleted this post soon after, but being my first post it didn't let me. Thanks for the response!
