Its 2012 and cv2 is here. This old post shows you how to change camera resolution in versions of opencv around 1.1 camera capture in opencv but these functions are not available in cv2 or its enclosed cv2.cv module (opencv 2.4.1 is latest to-date)

Does anyone know how to change camera resolutions from python for opencv ? I am not looking for a c++ solution but instead one that is accessible from the python (2.7) that cv2 is delivered in. Importing a separate module is acceptable.

As stated elsewhere the VideoCapture.set functions do not work.

There is a new answer in the link you posted. It does what you want in python. – cyberdecker Nov 13 '12 at 15:29
