Try "ffmpeg -formats"

Uhmmm... It looks like you are not using the v4l2 input, but the "old"
video4linux input. Did you disable v4l2 at configure time? Or perhaps
your system does not support video4linux2?

In any case, if you prefer (or must) use video4linux instead of
video4linux2, then have a look at recent ml archives... A patch for
grab.c (the file implementing video4linux input) has been recently
posted. And I think it addresses some problem similar to this. Which
capture card are you using? Or is it a webcam?

If you can send your confi.mak/config.h, the full output of ffmpeg, and
the output of dmesg, I'll have a better look at your problem.
