Luc,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately making the movie
with mencoder or motion is not an option for me as I
am running the code on a Linksys NSLU2. This one has a
266 Mhz ARM cpu without floating point instructions
(so mpeg encoding is out of my league).

However, meanwhile I found a way to play back the raw
data.
This was triggered by this page:
http://users.tkk.fi/~jlohikos/tleds/public/QuickCam_Pro_4000-Linux_mplayer_howto.html

The actual incantation is 

mplayer -rawvideo on:fps=15:w=176:h=144 filename

where of course after fps, w and h you need to provide
the proper values.

Best regards, Frans.

(by the way: motion does work on this hardware for
detecting movement and save pictures)
