The reason is that pwlib is somewhat braindead again. pwlib sets the framesize to the maximum size supported by the driver (see video4linux.cxx) on videograbber instatiation, and then after setting the requested ColourFormat tries if the device can be set to the formerly selected framesize > I could invert the ioctls but it could potentially break other drivers. > Check that if there is an option to the module to specify the default > size when opening. If you had used the ioctls, you had been right, but by the means of pwlib you are issuing two ioctls if you use SetColourFormatConverter. > However, I know nobody having problems with pwcx. Have no problems, either, but maybe someone has.
