Yah , still working on new patettes added in 2.6.27 specially those custom bayer and Pixart :
#define V4L2_PIX_FMT_PJPG     v4l2_fourcc('P', 'J', 'P', 'G') /* Pixart 73xx JPEG */

I'll commit to svn a fix .

Hi Angel,

I think it also needs to go in video.c u32 supported_formats[]

But it needs more than that. as it will then segfault.

John ,

i just wrote the new define nothing else ... there's no problem to add detection of that new palette , but also

conversion so i'm looking to add a support to 8 new palettes introduced in 2.6.27 . I'll to get something this weekend.
