That's pretty normal as your device doesn't support MJPEG, which is the 
default frame format used by luvcview.

This is caused by packet loss on the USB bus. ffmpeg shouldn't bail out but 
should skip the image instead. I still have a pending patch to drop 
incomplete frames in the driver, I'll try to integrate it in the near future.
