Hey Jamie...

Not sure if this is really the answer you're looking for but anyway.....

If you do a..
   struct video_capability  videoCapability;
   ioctl(_videoDevice, VIDIOCGCAP, &videoCapability)

and look at...
  videoCapability.minwidth
  videoCapability.minheight
  videoCapability.maxwidth
  videoCapability.maxheight

This will tell you the min/max capture sizes of the card... Based on that
info you know the info for a correct call to..
   struct video_mmap videoMmap;
   ioctl(_videoDevice,  VIDIOCMCAPTURE, &videoMmap)

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

 -Smity
