title: Unknown V4L2 pixel format equivalent for yuvj420p
body: <p>I am trying to pipe a mp4 video located in Videos/video.mp4 to a virtual webcam device located at /dev/video0.</p>
  
  <p>I tried running:
  <code>ffmpeg -re -i Videos/video.mp4 -map 0:v -f v4l2 /dev/video0</code>
  and I keep getting the following error:</p>

  <p>The desired result is that the mp4 video is seen by apps that try to view the webcam. I am running this on a desktop without a webcam or video interface, which is why I am using <code>/dev/video0</code></p>
