 The syntax is like that:
  v4l:<device>[:option=value:...]
 options: channel,norm (pal, ntsc,secam), frequency (not really there is
          a factor), audio, size (WxH or subqcif,qsif,qcif,sif,cif,vga),
          codec (optional, mpeg1 or mpeg4 and need to have compiled the
          encoders modules)
 ex: v4l:/dev/video:channel=0:frequency=8052:norm=secam:size=vga
 Please test.
