Change default output settings?

I've only recently started using Yawcam and I'm well impressed with it!
I've added it to my startup folder so that my webcam can be viewed after my server has restarted, but it resets to 160x120 pixels.
Is there any way I can set the default resolution to 640x480?
I've seen forcevideoformat.txt mentioned in other posts... Are there any settings I can put in that file to set the resolution?

Thanks.

Yes, if you use the "forcevideoformat.txt" trick and set the video resolution via the new menu option "Settings -> Device (X) -> Force video format...", Yawcam will remember the images size next time you start it.

Remeber that the forcevideoformat.txt trick is a temporary solution. If you change any video settings via the ordinary menu options "Device properties..." or "Format control..." after the "Force video format..." has been used, it is possible that Yawcam loses the video size set in the "Force video format..." options.
