when I use usb_cam, I did this: roscore and rosrun usb_cam usb_cam_node. I also used rosparam set usb_cam/pixel_format yuyv and I received:

           usb_cam video_device set to [/dev/video0]
           usb_cam io_method set to [mmap]
           usb_cam image_width set to [640]
           usb_cam image_height set to [480]
           usb_cam pixel_format set to [yuyv]
           usb_cam auto_focus set to [0]

What command are you using to display the images? What does rostopic list show?

For webcams, I recommend you to use gscam instead of usb_cam
