Nice, I successfully tested your patch with 2 compatible webcams.
 From the users feedbacks I had before, it seems that some devices do 
not support the 640x480 resolution, but I was not able to verify this 
myself.
This is the only concern I have, since some users may think the driver 
is not working if the application automatically switches to the maximum 
resolution with an incompatible device.

Yes, I also had this issue before. I don't know what is the good 
approach to determine the best size with JPEG compression.

I will push your changes to my tree and send a pull request to Mauro later.

Regards,

Antoine
