WDM Webcam should retain connection choices across sessions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Message from Dave Partridge:

I would like to make a suggestion for enhancement.

I'm using PHD2 2.4.1 with a Microsoft Lifecam Studio but suspect this request 
applies to any WDM type webcam.

When I  connect to the camera I'm offered a slew of different resolutions and 
codecs to use (strangely one of the codecs shows as "Unknown" - I think it is 
M420).  I think I would only ever want to use 1920 x 1080 MJPG as that gives 
the full sensor area and can handle up to 30fps (Sharpcap2).

For this reason I'd like PHD2 to remember the last selected resolution/codec 
for a specific camera and not require me to select it every time.  Naturally 
there should be a means to allow a different resolution/codec combination to be 
chosen if desired.

Hmmm - is there any benefit in using other than full resolution (e.g. 1280x720 
or 960x540 which appear to use some form of sub-sampling or binning) on these 
webcams?  Some understanding of why I might want to use either M420 or YUY2 
codecs would help me too...
