I don't know whats wrong with OpenCV 2.4.2 with Visual Stuio 2010. I am trying to grab Camera frame that has 1280x1024 resolution. But OpenCV 2.4.2 always grab only 640x480 resolution. Why ? On the other hand, OpenCV 1.1pre working fine. What to do in this kind of issue ? I do not want 1.1pre, kindly give me the solution. Thanks.

These subrotinues I am using.

CvCapture* WebCAMinit = cvCaptureFromCAM(arg);
IplImage* imageRGB = cvQueryFrame(WebCAMinit);

You need to define the width and height in capture properties of capture. I presume that you are using the C interface, right? If you don't want to use the C++ interface (the previous answer is for C++ way), take a look on the doc for C interface here.

Try with cvSetCaptureProperty(yourvideo,CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 1024). Same thing for the width, using CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH.

Here you can find the reference for the VideoCapture class which will help you updating your code and also selecting capture properties:

Ita not working my friend... I have also tried sample program "starter_video.cpp", same result I got 640x480 pixels. But the same code with OpenCV 1.1 gives full 1280x1024 resolution. I think something wrong with built-in libs or dll files of OpenCV 2.4.2. Am I right ?
