Find out maximum resolution

[habnefrage]

Hi all,

I have installed Zoneminder 1.24.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 with a PICO200 aka. OV-149 (30Fps) Card last weekend.

Yet I have connected one Sony Camcorder throug AV cable and it is working realy cool.


Currently I discovered the following setups working for me:

Capture Method: V4L1
Device Format: PAL
Capture Palette: RGB24
Width: 352
Height: 240

Capture Method: V4L2
Device Format: PAL B1
Capture Palette: GREY
Width: 720
Height: 576

Capture Method: V4L2
Device Format: PAL B1
Capture Palette: RGB555
Width: 480
Height: 342

and some other between.

My Question:
- How do I find out what resolution I can select max?
- Why can I select only GREY on higher resolutions?
- Is 480*342 realy the maximum colorable resolution?


mfg and kind regards
