Glad you mentioned this. Turns out that my card also has a hardware mjpeg
decoder, I guess the quality will be better with this decoder than with
software-decoder?

But with the hardware-decoder, it records 704x576 (full size PAL), and
all the people are too tall =:-().

I am really, really confused by all those different resolutions. Anybody out
there to recommend how properly handle this resolution thing?
