i don't work on pdp, but i think i know what the problem is.  you are 
most likely seeing an improper display of yuv color-space in an rgb 
display.  pdp might have a color-space conversion object that would 
convert yuv to rgb and vice versa.  a potential source of the problem 
you are seeing is the webcam reporting the wrong color space or pdp 
not detecting the right one to use.  i don't really know a whole lot 
about v4l, but i seem to recall it supporting several color-spaces 
for capture devices.
