Video4Linux 2 webcam applications?

    Hi, I've spent some time poking around for a video4linux 2 webcam application which doesn't suck. All I want is something very simple -- grab a frame from the specified camera and dump it to a file on disk in a format I can use. I don't want a config file. I don't want a web server. I don't want it to scp the file somewhere. Just grab a frame.

    I can't find such a thing. I have some code myself which nearly does the job, but it's video4linux 1 and needs a rewrite. Should I just give in a write the code myself?
