Problems with resolution of Philips 740K using Webcam32

[Guest]

Hi,

I just got a Philips 740K and want to use it with Webcam32 under
Windows XP (=> Microsoft WDM Image Capture).

The camera support a still image resolution of 1280 x 960 and a video
resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Using Webcam32 I want to upload a
still image of 1280 x 960 every 60 seconds to a website.

In the settings of Webcam32 (/Device/Format) I can only choose a
resolution of up to 640 x 480. I also checked if I could change the
resolution in the camera software or anywhere else but couldn't find
anything. The included software VLounge is not working on my PC.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you!

Jennifer Borck

1280 x 960 are interpolated resolution.
640 x 480 are real hardware resolution (on the CCD).
