...and the driver. I don't know much about various _web_cameras and their 
drivers, but I could well imagine, that you're asking for an unsupported 
YUV variation, whereas some other format would be supported. Why don't you 
use VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT to list all supported formats? Or even look in the 
driver source - it's open:-)
