Now, AVI is NONE of those - it is Reduced Bitdepth (usually 4-6bit/Color) and Compressed AND nowhere near Full 18MP Resolution.

The original AVI 2GB Filesize Limit would allow only 4 sec of "Full Resolution / Full Bitdepth / Uncompressed" Video. Planetary Mode is "nominally" VIDEO (well actually Individual Frames snagged from the LiveView SDK Video Feed that are then re-combined into an AVI Video) - and at even only 10fps any attempt to record the Full Resolution of the 18MP Sensor would result in MASSIVE Data Rates which would overwhelm the Transfer and Storage limits of the Camera / USB2 / File Format.ĥ184w x 3456h x 48bit = 51843456 bytes (49.5MB)
