Video Capture output always in 320x240 despite changing resolution

Question

Ok I have been at this for 2 days and need help with this last part.

Answer 1

Lifecam is known for unobvious behavior with setting capture format (more specifically, falling back to other formats). See prevoius discussions which are likely to suggest you a solution:

• Can't make IAMStreamConfig.SetFormat() to work with LifeCam Studio
• IAMStreamConfig settings are ignored by stream - Microsoft LifeCam Cinema records only on 640x480
• Can Microsoft LifeCam record at a frame rates lower than 30 fps?
