What application can I use to capture the individual jpeg's generated by a webcam?

I want to use the individual jpeg's in FCP to create a fast-motion playback of the webcam event.

Example:
The Icehotel webcam generates a new jpeg each second.
The webpage refreshes each second.
Each jpeg is about 20kB in size.
In FCP I want to use each jpeg for 1 frame such that the sequence plays at 25 times (PAL) the actual speed.

Work around:
Currently I use Snapz Pro and select "movie" capturing at 1 frame per second. The result is an enormous file. In FCP I remap the timeline to 2500%. The result is acceptable but I prefer to use the individual jpeg files.
