There is usually no difference between taking one image or many (video).

If you are going to write a driver then you need to obtain the specs on
the chipset. If the camera uses some existing (and already supported)
chipset then maybe it already works (probing info may need to be added).
You may want to open the camera and look inside, like I did here:

http://www.linux-usb.org/ibmcam/

If the camera uses a chipset that is not supported then you need specs
to write the driver. Without specs the driver can be developed using
reverse engineering, USB sniffer on Windows and other tricks like that,
but the quality will be bad.
