My webcam

       Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:089d Logitech, Inc. QuickCam E2500 series

Should work out-of-the-box in Ubuntu 10.10 but the lower half of the video is garbled. I use (64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 [not mythbuntu] )

       LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

When I do the terminal screen is filled with these kinds of error messages:

libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 4 more bits
libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 3 more bits

I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=830594

And when I try gstreamer-properties, I get the same error messages amd my webcam video still does not work properly. Where can I get these plugins that are not yet installed. I did not find them in the SPM. And will any of them help.
