For PAL, default frame dimensions are: width=768, height=576. This is 1:1. For scaling, just change these dimensions, and you can scale the image to any size you like. It works similarly for NTSC, etc. This is using the original v4l API. I am certainly no expert when it comes to v4l, but I hope the above works for you. /G
