Hi
I am using uvcdynctrl in libwebcam-src-0.2.4 to see the camera features and while receiving capturing the image is encoded to mjpeg as default format. How to switch over to YUYV format from mjpeg format using uvcdynctrl? Any suggestion please.

You can't do that with uvcdynctrl, stream parameters can only be controled by the capture application.
Try guvcview or some other v4l2 capture tool for easy handling of stream parameters like format and frame rate.

Best Regards,
Paulo
