Of course it's not as good. dvgrab captures at a much higher resolution
(720x480 or 720x400) and gnomemeeting can only use the CIF and QCIF
resolutions that are about half/quarter those dimensions.

dvgrab was the "inspiration" for the AVC code in gnomemeeting. However, the
image always has to be rescaled for use by PWLib/OpenH323/Gnomemeeting.

BTW, why are we talking about DC cameras if your camera is DCR-TRV9000? That
model sounds like a mini-DV camera, right?
