The answer I hear is that OJPEG support does not work because of conflicts
in the spec.  You might try what I did--closely examine the way OJPEG was
implemented in the files you must work with, extract from them a JPEG file
which you write to a temp file on disk, then do the decompression with
libjpeg.
