The QuickTime File Format Specification states the following: "Depth: A 16-bit integer that indicates the pixel depth of the compressed image. Values of 1, 2, 4, 8 ,16, 24, and 32 indicate the depth of color images. The value 32 should be used only if the image contains an alpha channel. Values of 34, 36, and 40 indicate 2-, 4-, and 8-bit grayscale, respectively, for grayscale images." There is no mention of value 33, i.e. 1-bit video (0x01) with the greyscale bit (0x20) set. I therefore suggest that we ignore the greyscale bit when processing 1-bit video. Another reason to do this is that the first 1-bit sample file below will be displayed properly with blue colors in QuickTime in Windows or Mac *in spite of* the greyscale bit being set. Also, QuickTime in Windows or Mac ignores the greyscale bit if the video sample description contains a palette, regardless of bit depth. This is undocumented behaviour, but I think we should do the same, and it seems pretty logical after all, since one wouldn't really bother putting a customized palette into a grayscale file anyway. See the second 8-bit sample file below, which has the greyscale bit set, and which contains a palette in the video sample description. In Windows or Mac, it will be displayed with the palette in the sample description, in spite of the greyscale bit being set.
