truncated stream

Hi Michel,

I noticed that the stream is not showing the complete picture.

See
http://bro.poeml.de/~poeml/cl20/middle.avi
for an example, where I aimed more or less exactly in the middle of the
screen (via the built-in finder).

At first I thought I have hosed the camera (since I had disassembled it
;) but now I think that only a part of the sensor is capturing, or some
part gets lost due to misfitting resolution.

Because I used 320x240 so far, and wondered whether another resolution
might work better, I have tried 640x480 a few times, but the computer
crashes hard if I do that... is it supposed to work?

Thanks,
Peter
