Stretch Applet

I am sorry if this is the wrong forum, I am new here and new to scripting and java. What I have is a java applet that I am viewing for my new web camera, and the size is 320x240. At this resolution it can give 30 frames per second. You can set the size to be 640x480 in settings, but at this new resolution, the frames per second drop to below 8. The new setting is just a larger 320x240, not actually grabbing any new data, just interpolating. I am wondering if there is a way to interpolate the applet on the client side to use less bandwidth and hopefully gain frames per second. I can change the applet size in the html file, but that just changes the gray area and leaves the same 320x240 picture in the upper left of the gray applet area. Is there any way (without having the camera's java applet source code) to "stretch" the picture. I am not looking for high quality, only to literally stretch the picture that is there. This is possible with other web cameras, I have done it, but applying the same way I have done it with other cameras to this camera has not worked, the picture size stays the same and the gray area only expands. Any thoughts on a way to stretch the applet? Some java script command? Please help! Thanks!
