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.
