How do I save to SER format?

Hi,
First post here, really liking SharpCap but have a small problem (possibly).
I'm setting up one of these jobbies: https://www.harrisontelescopes.co.uk/ac ... l#SID=1712
All looking good and very quickly realised the free software included wasn't up to the job, so found SharpCap.
It's very intuitive, looks like there's good documentation and great support here. However, when save to AVI format I'm getting HUGE file sizes. I can sort of live with this, and I understand why it's happening, but I tried using SER as a comparison, and whereas I can select it as the format, when it records, it always produces an AVI file.
I'm changing to SER in the SharpCap settings General tab, I've unchecked the Start cameras with Auto output in case that overrides this. One thing I have noticed is that, in the right-hand column, under Capture Format and Area, if I select Auto it always selects AVI even though I've chosen SER in settings, which implies to me that something's not right.
Any ideas? I can live with AVI but would at least like to look at how SER performs.
I also looked through the docs and forums but can't see anyone with this specific question, apologies if this has been asked before.
Thanks.
