The error message come from

    switch(avctx->bits_per_coded_sample){
    case  8: avctx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8; break;
    case 16: avctx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_RGB555; break;
    case 24:
             avctx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_BGR24;
             break;
    case 32: avctx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_RGB32; break;
    default: av_log(avctx, AV_LOG_ERROR, "Camtasia error: unknown depth %i bpp\n", avctx->bits_per_coded_sample);
             return AVERROR_PATCHWELCOME;
    }

I check the matroskaenc.c and matroskadec.c , mkv muxer does not write the bits_per_coded_sample information for video track , it only write similar information as MATROSKA_ID_AUDIOBITDEPTH for audio track.

avidec.yuv will call ff_get_bmp_header to parse bitmap header to get the bits_per_coded_sample information from video stream.

mkv demuxer also does not do such work. Is it a bug of mkv demuxer or muxer? Is it possible to support RGB Pixel format video stream in mkv container? If possible , what should we do to support such feature?

best regards

Upload a sample (preferably both avi and mkv).
