MJPG video capture source

Hi

Any reason why dshow video capture sources that output MJPG are not supported?

I get "dshow error: capture device 'mjpg device name' does not support required parameters ! " when I try to open an MJPG capture device in VLC.

See filter.cpp: GetFourCCFromMediaType(...). If VLC can support MPEG2 and DV capture sources and it has an MJPG codec, I don't see why it can't support MJPG video sources. Am I missing something?

Thanks
