I have noted the same problem with changing the resolution through Vision Acquisition Express VI.
I am using a Logitech 910 USB camera. Using NI MAX I can change the resolution, also from inside the Express VI I can change it and show it, but when I exit and run the program it will still only record the maximum image size, which is too big for me.
I solved it by converting the Express VI to a regular VI. Then went into the beginning of the VI and used Enumerate Video Modes to check which number you want. I used 17 for 640 x 480 RGB24. Then create a Property node: Video Mode for the Image Session, change to write and assign the constant 17 to it. Then it worked.
I suspect there must be a bug somewhere in the Vision Acquisition Express VI or more likely in one of its subVIs.

Hi BlueChees,
We have a labview 7.1 in our lab and we are recording a video using labview. I have the same problem as Brad used to deal with, that is I would like to increase the resolution of my video from 648*40 pixels to 648*400 pixels. But, looking at IMAQ, I can not seem to see any possiblity of adjustments for video resolution. Since I'm working with a 2005 version of Labview there is no IMAQdx installed in my system. Do you think IMAQdx would be compatible with my Labview7.1 or Labview8? I'm a beginner in Labview programming... any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hadi

Hello,
IMAQdx is version compatable. If you have IMAQdx for LabVIEW 7.1, it will likely work with 8. This KB provides a very useful version compatability chart: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DB928F6D5E9D6B97862579A7006B2850
