Image Resizing Down [Resolved]

I'm new to AbelCam, and so far it does everything I could want, and then some. I'm running into one problem I hope I can get resolved and then I can pick up the pro version.

I have a USB Webcam, (Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000), which supports up to 640x480. I have this selected for both Input and Output on the Camera configuration screen. Using TyCapture for the Capture Interface. The "Preview" seems to be the full 640x480 however the Motion detection video recording gives me this error in the log:
08:05:16 Video Save Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000-1 warning image resizing from 320x240 to 640x480

The Video comes out as 320x240, and so does the still images from the motion detection.

I've tried re-adding and reconfiguring the camera, selecting a different resolution and then re selecting the 640x480, but it still does not use the higher resolution.

I'm thinking about getting a higher quality webcam to use with AbelCam, and it goes up to 720p. Does Abelcam support 640x480 (and higher) with the Recording of videos for Motion Detection?

Yep... your problem is real alright, and it seems AbelCam is not the only application that got blindsided by this odd LifeCam behaviour. For example, see:

Fortunately that article presents a solution rather than just pointing out a problem. It looks to me like this can be solved in the next AbelCam beta (although it is not my place to promise you any such thing).
