Public bug reported:
xscreensaver-getimage-video does not support ffmpeg as a video capturing
program.
A command to grab a single frame of video from the webcam would be:
ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -ss 00:00:01 -vframes 1 -f png <filename>
ffmpeg is a relatively common program to have, and so including it as an
option for xscreensaver-getimage-video would be useful.
