yuvj420 is not a codec, it is the pixel format that a video codec uses. It
is saying that your H264 encoding is:
yuv - Using the YUV colour space
j - using full, rather than broadcast range
420 - using 4:2:0 chroma subsampling

I can't really help any further but hopefully someone more knowledgeable
can assist you.  According to this, your input is h264:

Input #0, video4linux2,v4l2, from '/dev/video0':
  Duration: N/A, start: 2409.495782, bitrate: N/A
    Stream #0:0, 8, 1/1000000: Video: h264 (Constrained Baseline), 1
reference frame, yuvj420p(pc, progressive, left), 1920x1080 (1920x1088)
[SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 0/1, -3 kb/s, 20 fps, 20 tbr, 1000k tbn, 40 tbc

 I'm not sure if some other configuration is required for ffmpeg to be able
to use hardware acceleration from a webcam, which sounds like  your intent.
