I think I found a video format that is not supported that would be useful (particularly for amateur astronomers) to be supported. When taking webcam type photos of the moon and planets, these people have moved away from avi files, and are using .ser files.

My understanding of this comes from:

http://www.grischa-hahn.homepage.t-online.de/astro/ser/

which describes it.

Simple uncompressed video format for astronomical capturing:

    unlimited file size
    time stamps (UT) for every frame
    8..16 bit per pixel and plane
    Monochrome, Bayer RGB/CMY, full RGB (v3)
    contains information about observer, camera and telescope
    SER files are supported by:

    Lucam Recorder (v2)
    AiryLab Genika Astro (v2)
    Open Astro Project - oaCapture (v2)
    SIRIL (v3)
    FireCapture (v3)
    PIPP (v3)
    WinJUPOS (v3)
    AutoStakkert!2 (v3)
    AviStack (v2)
    RegiStax (v2)
    ImagesPlus (v2)
    Planetary impact flashes detection with DeTeCt (v2)

The website above has descriptions of version 2 and 3 of the format, and a sample implementation in Pascal.

Would there be any interest in supporting this format?

Thanks,

John Duchek
