Planetary Image Pre Processor, that one really saves a lot of time and processor cycles in Registax.

I image a 480x480 subframe and ~40 frames per second, PIPP cuts the frames down to 100x100 for Mars and 160x160 for Jupiter.

With video as noisy as mine is you have to trick Registax into aligning solely on center of mass rather than looking for a specific feature since the features are jumping around all over the place. There's a menu that lets you blur the image for aligning purposes, I'm using a really heavy blur for the alignment, it seems like the more blur I use the better it works.
