I’m using the script below to show input from mij webcam. As long as I keep the video-instance small, no worries. But when I use a larger instance (eg. 400by300) , the quality of the footage drops big time. My webcam (iMac, internal) can do way better than that.

```auto

[LEFT][COLOR=#000084]var[/COLOR] my_cam:Camera = Camera.[COLOR=#000084]get[/COLOR]();
[COLOR=#000084]var[/COLOR] my_video:[COLOR=#000084]Video[/COLOR];
my_video.[COLOR=#000084]attachVideo[/COLOR](my_cam);
my_video.[COLOR=#000084]_width[/COLOR]=400;
my_video.[COLOR=#000084]_height[/COLOR]=300;
my_cam.setQuality(0, 100);

```

What am I doing wrong?[/LEFT]
