Resolution?

[t-oster]

Hi,
your tool works great, however I would love to be able to take resolutions other than 640x480, so a /resolution parameter would be nice.

Also I would suggest returning JPEG instead of BMP

Hi Thomas,
I'll be incorporating variable resolution into the next version of CommandCam. However, in the meantime you can use another program of mine called RobotEyez (which will probably become the next version of CommandCam):

It lets you set the resolution using "/width" and "/height" command line arguments.

If you want to convert automatically to jpeg, the easiest way to do it automatically is using ImageMagick's "convert" command (ImageMagick is free):

convert frame.bmp frame.jpg

Regards,
Ted

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply. The converion to JPEG is not the problem.
I just think a Bitmap takes much more place in memory (RAM and DISK)
and so the program may be faster if you directly work on JPEG.

However, I found a program called DsGrab
(http://www.saliences.com/projects/dsgrab/index.html) which was
exactly, what I was looking for.

Thank you anyway.

Ok great, glad to hear you got sorted out anyway.

Thanks for the link to DSgrab - I haven't come across it before. Looks useful!
