Hi Hjalmar,

Currently, there is no way to set fps for the webcam directly. You can 
set the size though, which is likely to affect the fps (smaller size -> 
higher fps. Just add e.g. ``size='768x576'`` to the arguments. Similarly 
you can set the pixelformat. See 
http://imageio.readthedocs.org/en/latest/format_ffmpeg.html

I am not sure if setting fps directly is possible via ffmepg. You could 
look into it. I welcome a PR :)
