Another trick is that the higher "resolution" - understand the size of image - is artificially increased using an interpolation.
If you need a real 5MP resolution you need a 5MP camera, not 1.3MP, there is no way, how to cheat it.

As I said before, the last webcam I bought was useless it was not Linux fault.I went to the Steren Shop and they changed it to me for another webcam, this timethe COM-105 one, wich uses other USB Driver and works perfectly with Cheeseby just plugging it.
The cam also works with my Windows 7 VM very well, but I have a New problem:
In the webcam features, it says the cam has a 5MP resolution interpolated, but inthe instructions it says the cam has a 1.3 MP Resolution, wich is really poor for whatI wanna do.
¿How can I reach that 5MP Resolution in Linux? ¿What does that mean?¿Does this webcam can really record a 5MP Video? ¿How can I do it?
Thanks!
P.S. No matter I use Cheese or the Webcam's recording software for Windows,the resolution is very very poor :(

Thanks for your tips. I was reading the Webcam's box and it says it has "5MP resolution (interpolated)"
And in the webcam's instructions, it says it has "1.3MP Resolution (interpolated)" I believe I'm going to
complain at the store because, they are selling cameras mentioning one resolution in the box and other
completely different in the instructions.
That's no Fair.
