Bug#511736: vlc: Missing support for V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGBRG8

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2
Severity: normal

Hello,

Format V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGBRG8 was added to Linux this winter, and my webcam
driver happens to support only that. Could you add support for this
format?

Samuel

Now I know someone out there is going to claim, "Well then, UNIX is intuitive,
because you only need to learn 5000 commands, and then everything else follows
from that! Har har har!"

defending Macs.)
