    I am working on updating these examples for Processing 2.0. You need to add video.start() if you are using 2.0.

    Hi, im begining to experiment with artificial vision aplications and I thought Processing would be a good tool, but I got a silly question I hope you can help me. When I use the camara integrated in my Laptop the video seems fine, but when I change the size, lets say 640×480, the video become all fuzzy and wierd, my face appear like 4 times on the screen. But when I use an USB webcam this problem doesnt happen. You know why this happen? I hope you can help me, Thanks.
