At the moment, the resolution is hardcoded in the source to 320x240 for Firewire
IIDC devices.

The only way to use a different resolution is to change the dc1394 video mode
settings in the source, but only specific resolutions and framerates supported
by your camera will work.

I should note that in my own experiments, I only got my Apple iSight working at
640x480 at 15 frames per second. In theory, it should work at 30, but I get an
error message from libdc1394 complaining about a DMA error and then I have to
power cycle my system to get the cameras to work again!

Regards, Vlad.
