The driver packags comes with lots of documentation (but partly in german) which also contains this quote
- For OV519 cameras: Standard JPEG Compression is used. You need an application that supports this. Only the included test/getjpeg program does so far as I know.
The getjpeg.c code to my eyes looks quite simple (at least it's very, very short), but I really don't understand all the v4l stuff yet and especially not, how this could fit into the architectures of Gem or pdp.
I have found another piece of software which already supports ov519 cams called "showvideo" and available at http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/software/ov51x/ With this, grabbing moving pictures at 640x480 will make my 900MHz Athlon CPU run at 98% load. ;)
But at least it is working. showvideo used libjpeg to decode the raw data from the cam, then imlib to display it.
