Yes, but for pure testing of the driver output formats, it is better to open the device in raw mode and convert the picture for GUI-output with a v4lconvert_convert() call. > It is counterintuitive if a YUV format is converted to a proper picture using > qv4l2 -r, but that it is all wrong with qv4l2.
