setv4l 0.3
This program was formally known as vidcontrol, this name was already taken by a FreeBSD utility so it was renamed to setv4l.

setv4l is a small command line utility for changing the picture settings of a video 4 linux device. You can change (if the specified device allows) the following settings:
Brightness, Hue, Colour, Contrast, Whiteness.
For each you can specify a value from 0 to 65535.
I wrote it as I needed a way to change the settings of a remote webcam. I use vidcat for generating the pictures for the webcam, vidcat is part of the w3cam package.
