I just installed ubuntu 16.04 on my PC 64 bit. I use the webcam C170. Opening cheese i get the following message:

libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image

(cheese:5774): cheese-WARNING **: Failed to allocate a buffer: gstv4l2src.c(884): gst_v4l2src_create (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin18/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1

Using mplayer I had the video recording stream on my screen.
