Seem the very old bug is coming back in trusty. I hope im not the last
one using this old webcam.

syslog tells me:

the old Workaround from 2008 to do  "sudo apt-get install ov51x-jpeg-source" is not working at the moment.

Title:
  webcam error - ov511.c: No decompressor available

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux-source-2.6.15” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “linux-source-2.6.22” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Contrary to Ben Collins' status explanation, regarding bug #3717:
  <quote>This is fixed in dapper, but will not be fixed in breezy.</quote>
  , this bug still occurs in dapper, at least in the first beta. I tested with live-cd kubuntu, with the exact same problem.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Connect Philips ToUcam model 720K/00; syslog reports
  Apr 27 18:53:30 localhost kernel: [4295842.790000] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
  Apr 27 18:53:30 localhost kernel: [4295842.918000] drivers/usb/media/ov511/ov511.c: USB OV518 video device found
  Apr 27 18:53:30 localhost kernel: [4295842.919000] drivers/usb/media/ov511/ov511.c: Device revision 1
  Apr 27 18:53:30 localhost kernel: [4295842.931000] drivers/usb/media/ov511/ov511.c: Compression required with OV518...enabling
  Apr 27 18:53:32 localhost kernel: [4295844.276000] drivers/usb/media/ov511/ov511.c: Sensor is an OV6630
  Apr 27 18:53:32 localhost kernel: [4295844.479000] drivers/usb/media/ov511/ov511.c: Device at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 registered to minor 0

  The device appears in Device Manager, wich reports
  video4linux.device: /dev/video0

  Then do 
  cat /dev/video0

  syslog says
  Apr 27 18:57:20 localhost kernel: [4296073.038000] drivers/usb/media/ov511/ov511.c: No decompressor available
