-I,--inputwidth=SAMPLING
V4L input scanline sampling (defaults to 720. This sets how many pixels per scanline to request
from the capture card. A higher setting gives better quality, while a lower setting means we do
less work, and so tvtime will run faster. If you have a slower CPU (like, less than 500Mhz or
so), maybe values of 480 or 400 might suit you best. For best quality, choose a high value like
720 or 768. Many capture cards cannot sample higher than 768 pixels per scanline.
