SOLOHI Movie Files:

Files are provided in MP4, MPG and MVI formats.

The MVI files are compatible with the SCC_PLAYMOVIE and GENERIC_MOVIE routines.

The MP4 and MPG movies are similar, but the MP4s are smaller and play on a wider range of video players.

Files have been grouped by date ranges to correspond to the orbit of the Solar Orbiter spacecraft.

The movies currently available are running ratio movies the L2 images. This means the background is removed by dividing two consecutive images. There are lots of artifacts visible in these movies, these are typically a result of spacecraft pointing maneuvers which cause changes in the intensity of the images.
