¿Cómo puedo enumerar los modos de video disponibles para una cámara web USB en Linux?

Si tienes v4l (video 4 linux 2) instalado puedes hacer:

v4l2-ctl --list-formats

La respuesta aceptada (v4l2-ctl --list-formats ) parece mostrar solo el primer formato disponible, por ejemplo:

$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
        Index       : 0
        Type        : Video Capture
        Pixel Format: ''
        Name        : 2036315a-0000-0010-8000-00aa003

        Index       : 1
        Type        : Video Capture
        Pixel Format: ''
        Name        : 00000050-0000-0010-8000-00aa003

Para ver todos formatos disponibles, es posible que desee utilizar una secuencia de comandos similar a la siguiente:

$ for d in /dev/video* ; do echo $d ; v4l2-ctl --device=$d -D --list-formats  ; echo '===============' ; done
/dev/video0

Si usa controles uvc para una cámara web, otro método es:

uvcdynctrl -f

También puedes hacer:

uvcdynctrl -l

para enumerar todos los dispositivos.
