Thanks to all.Thanks to everyone who has responded. Since my post I have set the output resolution to 1080 HD, assuming that it might be the custom size I was using of a SVGA screen (1024X768). Nope no change. I was using YUV compression because for some reason uncompressed stopped working except on QT. Now (for unknown reasons) uncompressed seems to be displaying on everything except VLC. The maxAVI resoution is still 729 X 476 on uncompressed. As suggested, I have now installed the 32bit version of V19, and it works to create MOVs fine, VLC runs the uncompressed version but no picture. QT does fine. MOV maxes out at 985 X 615 even when enlarging the camera view. Thank you, I will try it on Adobe Premire (Elements). By the way I have an older version of QT, 7.7.9. Always hesitent to update QT because in the past I have lost features. Will start looking at software to stitch images. Of course this is a hobby. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.
