How to get vga resolution with zoneminder

[joerg]

Hi Philip,
First of all, gratulation to this nice piece of software.

Zoneminder have some problems to capture vga sized picture
from my quickcam 4000. On xawtv and gnomemetting the
grabbing are ok. Ok too, when zoneminder works
on y:352x288 by yuv420p.

When I try to set vga resolution 640x480, I get the messages
"Failed to set picture attributes: Invalid argument". So
I test each palette entry of the combobox - same result.
Do you have same magic power ?

Thanks for your help.

Joerg

P.S.: enclosed some text from my messages.log

Hi Joerg,

This is a little odd. Have you tried setting STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG to off? This will ignore the error you are getting and continue. You may then find that it does actually capture correctly despite it saying it won't.

Cheers,

Phil,

Hi Philip,
thanks for your reply. But STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG is set to off.
After restart same problem is going on.

Cheers,
Joerg
