You can tell what program is using what by going to the dreaded terminal. The 
lsof command lists all open files and resources. I had a problem like yours 
with my laptop and the command

lsof | grep video

showed me the program using the camera. In my case, it turned out to be some 
sort of system thingie from Delicious Library. I reinstalled Delicious Library 
and the problem went away.

This won't work, if "video" is not part of the file name.

PS/ lsof is Unixish for "list open files". The grep part just makes sure only 
lines with "video" in them are returned. Without the grep you'll get a daunting 
list of files.
