sorry if this is a super obvious problem. So the premise of this basic patch is that the brightness of the image from the webcam is linked to the volume of the input signal. The issue is when I expand the video to fullscreen, the image is incredibly pixelated. I'm using a late 2011 macbook pro. The image is very pixelated whether it's the built in camera or a 720p logitech connected via USB.

I don't have this problem if I use a newer computer. The only reason i'm reluctant to say it's just that the issue is my computer is too old, is that if I use either camera in facetime, skype, or imovie, I don't have this problem at all.

Any suggestions? Is there something I can change in my patch (attached) that will mitigate this? Or is the only explanation that my computer is getting up in years?

You are limiting the dimensions of your camera picture to 800x600 mate. You may want to use the native resolution by not setting any dimension and maybe use interpolation when going full screen
