I wrote a program called "Danovitsch webcam". It captures images of a 
bktr-device, does JPEG-compression and has a build in HTTP-server to get 
these images out into the world.
That's at least a bit more "optimal" than using bktr2jpeg to create your 
images.

The webpage can be found here :

Or just download the latest version (V1.2) :
