I'm pretty sure no-one's going to know the answer to this, but here goes anyway:
I'm developing a little video capture application in actionscript, and it's all working fine except one niggling problem. Due to cpu limitations (this is an embedded device) I need to capture at less than my capture devices native resolution. Unfortunately, rather than getting a scaled image back from the capture device I'm actually getting a cropped on, which is a bit crap.
My device is a compro videomate c200.
does anyone know:
is this a limitation of the capture device? How actionscript is dealing with the capture device?
is it pretty common across different capture devices or did I just pick a crappy device?
is there any way to solve it (I'm thinking maybe a way to talk to the driver and get it to actually capture at a diffeent resolution)
any help gratefully received!

Try that if it's available. Otherwise... I could tell you how to do what you are describing with individual screen grabs... but not with video... have no idea.
You don't happen to know what chipset it uses for the A/D conversion, do you?
I can probably crack one open and have a look inside if it helps get to the bottom of this issue?

I'd check in the device manager first. You're looking for a reference to BTXXX or the USB device. Also, what are you attempting to accomplish? I may know of some better devices.
That might work.
*edit* actually, that would be even more CPU crippling.. so that probably wouldn't help.
