Maximum directshow input resolution capture for webcam issue

Hello,

I am trying to capture snapshots from my webcam using the following command:

vlc --dshow-vdev="Monitor Webcam" --dshow-size=640x480 -V dummy --intf=dummy --dummy-quiet --video-filter=scene --no-audio --scene-path=D:\temp --scene-format=jpeg --scene-prefix=snap --scene-replace --run-time=1 --scene-ratio=24 "dshow://" vlc://quit

The parameter --dshow-size=640x480 sets the capture resolution, but even though my camera is capable of higher resolutions (logitech C170), I can only capture maximum of 640x480

Does anyone know how to capture at higher resolutions?

Regards,

Rodrigo

If you search on the web, i should find this technical specs:
http://logitech-en-emea.custhelp.com/ap ... ifications

especialy this line: Video Capture (4:3 SD) 320x240, 640x480, 1024x768

So, i think you can change the dshow-size param to 1024x768 => --dshow-size=1024x768

Tell us.
Thx
