The output of "-list_formats all" would be useful:
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0

Then try choosing one of the listed formats with "-input_format", as an
input option, instead of "-vcodec".

See the video4linux2 section in "ffmpeg -h full" and the ffmpeg
documentation for video4linux2:
http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#video4linux2
