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

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
