I have the same problem using a Realtek cam on a 2015 Razer Blade 14". When I start cheese, I get some half video for a couple seconds then it dies with:
libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image
The camera works perfectly with luvcview. The camera fails with cheese in default settings, but sorta works if I go into preferences and choose 1280x720 resolution for images and video and restart cheese. I still get a horizonal line in the video near the bottom though. The camera fails with the gumwrapper example in Firefox.
The camera looks scrambled on the same example in chromium, very similar to if I had chosen 640x480 in cheese as the camera resolution. Using ubuntu 14.04.3. Cheese fails with default kernel as well as 4.0 vivid kernel.
