First, MJPG-streamer comes to mind. http://mjpg-streamer.sourceforge.net/
Though the MJPEG (HTTP) stream is not yet a valid video file. But the
output_file.so seems to support dropping to JPEG files, and the
mjpegtools should support converting that to a video file without
recompression loss.

Next, I would think of motion.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome
I'm not sure though that it has the option _not_ to convert the MJPEG
UVC stream when creating a video file. But it too can drop JPEG files
to disk.

That I have no experience with. My (pwc) Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000
exposes no such behavior. Has there ever been any solution to this, to
creating constant speed video files from non-constant FPS /dev/video?

Hope this helps,
Moritz
