Question / Help Logitech c920 HD pro unable to use YUY2

[Wesley Osborn]

Like the title says, my c920 HD pro webcam doesn't give me an option to use YUY2 format. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to force to this format? Currently don't have the c920 on me and haven't tested changing the device to UVC. I've heard rumors that with the c920 switching to UVC is not even an option. Any advice would be appreciated.

This may be worth a read about some differences of drivers.

Take note that YUY2 without logitech drivers will not be compressed, USB 2.0 only have enough speed for 720x480 30fps, or a lot less fps at higher resolution, for YUY2 colorspace. Logitech webcam drivers may be decompressing/converting MJPG/H264 into I420/RGB.
