Topic: StopMotion for linux, Need help with editing Camera settings

I looked for about an hour so far online, I like this program better then Luciole because in stopmotion you can delete your shots... and it has onion(both do but stopmotion seems to be more active at it)

what I need to do is set the "stopmotion" device control codes (start demon/end demon) so my video cam will use full potential..
in Luciole I get 1280x1024@8mp, but I seem to be getting a about 1/3 that using stopmotion... looks like a 5 year old cam on StopMotion


on a good note: I finally found a camera thats cheep (HP-WC2100) and works with these programs... was going to pick up the 9000 cam but $80 is a bit much for me now mini/sad

any help guys? I have my latest setup ready to film, I just need to get stopmotion to work better, dont want to waist shots, you know?
