If anyone likes, you can send me the following: -- usbsniff output for one or two frames (it isn't so difficult for me to convert this to a binary file, actually) and I can fool around with trying to stick a JPEG header on it. -- one or two results of svv -gr in case that there is so much progress already. But the previous item ought to do just fine, too. I could also comment that there could be some kind of obfuscated JPEG going on here. As a case in point I can mention the recently cracked decompression for the JL2005B/C/D based still cameras. The compression algorithm is pretty much standard JPEG, but two things are unusual. First, the compression or decompression proceeds down columns of width one block, not across rows. Second, the thing which is being compressed is the Bayer pattern, so each block is of width 16, not 8, and there are sub-blocks for each of R, G1, G2, and B. If anyone is curious about this, the code can be pulled down from gphoto.svn.sourceforge.net, in trunk/libgphoto2/camlibs/jl2005c.
