[PD] gem pix_video dimensions

[Peter Sinclair]

I'm running pd-extended 0.42.5 on ubuntu lucid/10.04.

Everything seems to be working just fine (so thanks Hans Christoph!)  
except that I cant change the dimensions of the incoming video stream  
in pix _video. As far as I know this has never been possible under  
linux, however I've had to upgrade my webcam since the old one broke  
and the frame rate and resolution are too much for my mini ITX to  
handle so it's become a problem. If I first adjust the the camera  
image using guvcview it works fine, but I'm wondering if there isnt a  
better of getting the right image size other than starting and then  
quitting another application. Command line apps like guvcview require  
that dimension is defined as an argument when launching the app, this  
doesn't seem to work with pd gem. Any ideas?

Peter
