I thought I had posted this issue before but could not find the message. 
I tried it again and both jpg and jpeg endings work properly for load 
and save. I guess I had accidentally used an mpeg ending or something in 
my original test. So it is a false alarm.

For reference here was my latest test:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit 
(Intel)] on
win32

>>> from pygame import *
>>> s = image.load('static.png')
>>> s
<Surface(141x68x24 SW)>
>>> image.save(s, 'xxx.jpg')
>>> image.save(s, 'xxx.jpeg')
>>> a = image.load('xxx.jpg')
>>> b = image.load('xxx.jpeg')
>>> buffer(a.get_buffer())[:] == buffer(b.get_buffer())[:]
True
>>> buffer(a.get_buffer())[:] == buffer(s.get_buffer())[:]
False
