The format is more or less a raw RGB format. You almost never want to deal directly with it, for one because it'll fill up your hard drive faster than you can blink. It's just like how nobody stores raw audio data but rather mp3 or ogg. Instead you'll use an application that will encode the data to MPEG, DivX, Quicktime or such. Mplayer[1] comes with a great one called mencoder. It's really powerful but the options can be pretty intimidating. I've also had success with dvr[2]. Also check out this Linux Journal article[3] which has some really interesting ideas.
