If you skip the first 13 bytes (that surprisingly look like a possibly valid 
UVC header), the remaining data make a valid JPEG frame except for the lack 
of JFIF marker. I can see why applications would have trouble decoding that. 
Could you please capture a few consecutive frames and send them to me ? I'd 
like to have a look at the header.
