Try vid-1.0.1 that supports a varity of webcams. It only took minor
tweeking to get it to work on NetBSD-i386. I could package it up and
submit it into the pkgsrc tree if there is enough interest. 

The raw hack can be found on 

ftp://ftp.ping.net.au/pub/unix/graphics/vid-1.0.1-nbsd-hack.tar.gz

In general, I can't confirm the problem you're seeing as it works well
for me.
