it appears to be related to the drizzle function. though the error gives no guidance as to why.
if I go with the default it registers. if i set drizzle, it crashes.
This is not a Siril message error here, but a Windows message error.
So I would say this is probably an issue do to a lack of RAM.
so you are saying i need more that 128gb ram to use siril?
siril crashes after the popup so im going to stick with it being a siril issue. maybe not backend, but rather front end, but the result is the same.
I’ve seen reports of this with other software in the past. Sometimes, not always, the following fixes it. Close Siril, and delete this file: %localappdata%\recently-used.xbel or rename it. It holds your recently used files in Windows. Then try again…
i gave that a try, got the same error but now I’m seeing some complaining in the log.

etc for another 250 images.
it seems to be the problem is coming from the use of PNG in saving the sequence. other sequences that have used the .ser format are registering fine.
this is part of an annoying bug with sharpcap where it will randomly assign a different format. But still, Siril should be handling this more gracefully.
