It's the newest I can get to compile on my MIPS box and run.  :-(

I tried a bunch of different pix_fmts.  All looked wrong, but ffmpeg 1.0 
gave me an idea....

Here's the "correct" version that works for me:

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s $SIZE -i /dev/video0 -vframes $NFRAMES -f 
rawvideo /tmp/video.raw
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuyv422 -s $SIZE -i /tmp/video.raw -f image2 
-pix_fmt rgb24 /tmp/road%02d.png

At least this version of ffmpeg wants you to specify both input and 
output pixel formats to work right.
