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.
