[MPlayer-users] MPlayer and raw video

[Mats Peterson]

MPlayer naively assumes that 'rawvideo' raw video from libavcodec
(whether it's contained in AVI, QuickTime or something else) contains
24-bit RGB triplets. It *can*, for pixel formats like rgb24 and bgr24
(BGR in this case), but it can also be palettized or monochrome.
Anything that's not compressed/encoded. The following files with raw
video will play without video in MPlayer:

What's more, MPlayer misinterprets the negative height in the
BITMAPINFOHEADER for the AVI files as being a very large unsigned value,
rather than the indication of the video data being arranged
top-to-bottom rather than bottom-to-top.
