Title:
  Sony Vaio Pro webcam does not work in most of the apps with libjpeg-
  turbo8-1.3.0-0ubuntu2

Status in libjpeg-turbo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.
  The version of libjpeg-turbo8 is 1.3.0-0ubuntu2.

  Expected:
  A video picture from the webcam.

  What happens instead:
  The output is just a garbled picture or sometimes the green screen.

  For example, cheese fails with:
  libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image

  The webcam (ID 0bda:5793 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.) has MJPG as one
  of the formats.

  Most of the apps (cheese, google-chrome, etc.) don't allow to select
  other format for the webcam. Thus this webcam is unusable in those
  applications.

  This is fixed in libjpeg-turbo 1.4.
