RE: Saving YUVY image from V4L2 buffer to file

Do most of Webcams have no RGB support? I'm not experienced on that. Does
anybody know the percentage of RGB support by Webcams?

That only really works if the hardware supports providing RGB data as
opposed to YUYV (which many do not).  Or, it would work if you link
against libv4l to do the conversion in userland.
