Extract From VidEdit Supports 8-Bit Color Only (99285)

SUMMARY

Extracting frames from the VidEdit utility that ships with Microsoft Video for Windows results in bitmap images at a color depth of 8 bit only. This occurs even if the current AVI sequence is captured at a color depth of 16 or 24 bit. This is by design.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. In VidEdit, open an AVI sequence that uses a 16- or 24-bit color depth.
2. From the File menu, choose Extract.
3. From the List Of Files Type list box, choose Microsoft Windows DIB.
4. Type a valid filename with a DIB extension into the File Name text box and choose OK.
5. The resulting file (FILENAME.DIB) will be at an 8-bit color depth.
