Original mail and my own followup on ffmpeg-user earlier today:
I have a device sending out a MJPEG/RTP stream on a low quality setting.
Decoding and displaying the video with libavformat results in a washed
out, low contrast, greyish image. Playing the same stream with VLC results
in proper color representation.
Screenshots for comparison:

A pcap capture of a few seconds of video and SDP file for playing the
stream are available at

I believe the problem might be in the calculation of the quantization
tables in the function create_default_qtables(), the attached patch
solves the issue for me.
The problem is that the argument 'q' is of the type uint8_t. According to the
JPEG standard, if 1 <= q <= 50, the scale factor 'S' should be 5000 / Q.
Because the create_default_qtables() reuses the variable 'q' to store the
result of this calculation, for small values of q < 19, q wil subsequently
overflow and give wrong results in the calculated quantization tables. The
patch below uses a new variable 'S' (same name as in RFC2435) with the proper
range to store the result of the division.
