Hello:

Have you try some of the libraries listed here
(http://datacompression.info/JPEG.shtml)?

It's just an appointment...

Bonjour Stefan,

The stream does not have a 0xFF 0xD8 marker? Hum... that's not a
good sign. I never heard of a JPEG (any JPEG) without the "Start Of
Image" marker!

Just for the fun of it, could you try to drop your image on TomoVision
to see if I have more luck with decoder?

I've completely changed my lossless JPEG decoder recently to try to be
more "robust" and catch some of the more common problems... And if
TomoVision can't see your images, is it possible to send me a sample
file so that I can look at it?

You can download TomoVision from www.TomoVision.com

Merci,

Yves
